The correct answer is: \( 27 \% \)

We have a bag containing 3 red and 3 green balls. Now, he draws three balls from the bag. So, possible cases for the event is as follows:

Clearly, from case 3 and 4, we cannot get balls of different colours. Hence, probability is zero.

Now,

probability of drawing 1 red and 2 green balls is

=C13·C23C36=920.

Then, P1=C12·C11·C13C36=620.

And,

probability of drawing 2 red and 1 green ball is

=C13·C23C36=920.

Then, P2=C11·C12·C13C36=620.

Hence, required potability is

=920×620+920×620.

=2920×620=27100 or 27%.
