The correct answer is: 14

A bag B contains 4 white balls and 2 black balls.

Probability of selecting 1 white ball from bag B=P1=46

Another bag C contains 3 white balls and 5 black balls

Probability of selecting 1 white ball from bag C=P2=38

Hence, the probability that the two balls drawn are white=P1×P2=46×38=14
