In a box, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither red nor green?

  • A.1/3
  • B.3/4
  • C.7/19
  • D.8/21

Answer: A

"Neither red nor green" leaves only the blue balls.

\[ \text{total} = 8 + 7 + 6 = 21 \]

\[ P = \frac{7}{21} = \frac{1}{3} \]

Recognising the complement as a single colour turns a two-case count into one division.
