Options:
A .  
12
B .  
715
C .  
215
D .  
13
Answer: Option B : B The number of ways to arrange 7 white an 3 black balls in a row 10!7!.3!=10.9.81.2.3=120 Numbers of blank places between 7 balls are 6. There is 1 place before first ball and 1 place after last ball. Hence total number of places are 8. Hence 3 black balls are arranged on these 8 places so that no two black balls are together in number of ways. =8C3=8×7×61×2×3=56 So required probability = 56120=715
