Options:
A .  23/35
B .  29/35
C .  47/70
D .  43/70
E .  None of these
Answer: Option A


Given that there are three blue marbles, four red marbles, six green marbles and two yellow marbles.Probability that at least one green marble can be picked in the random draw of two marbles = Probability that one is green + Probability that both are green= (⁶C₁ * ⁹C₁)/¹âµCâ‚‚ + ⁶Câ‚‚/¹âµCâ‚‚= (6 * 9 * 2)/(15 * 14) + (6 * 5)/(15 * 14) = 36/70 + 1/7= 46/70 = 23/35
