Homework answers / question archive / A box contains some red balls and some green balls
A box contains some red balls and some green balls. If we choose randomly two balls from the box, they are of the same colour with probability 1. Which of the following could be the total number of the balls in the box? A) 81 B) 101 C) 1000 D) 2011 E) 10001
Suppose there are x red and y green balls, then same probability of red and green balls (0.5) means x=y and thus sum of balls = 2x
which is an even number. Thus the only possibility is 1000 (even number).
