A box contains two pair of socks of two colours (black and white). I have picked out a white sock. I pick out one more with my eyes closed. What is the probability that I will make a pair?

Answer»

Given number of socks in the box = 4

Let B and W denote black and white socks respectively. Then we have

S = {B, B, W, W}

If a white sock is picked out, then the total no. of socks left in the box = 3

Number of white socks left = 2 – 1 = 1

Probability of getting white socks = number of white socks left in the box/ total number of socks left in the box

= 1/3
