The correct answer is: 3715

Total number of balls in the bag =6+9=15.

Number of white balls =6.

Number of black balls =9.

Four balls are drawn at random at a time.

The probability that first draw give four white balls

C46C415=191

The balls are not replaced.

Now, the probability that second draw give four black balls

C49C411=2155

The probability that the first draw give four white balls  and second draw give four black balls

=191×2155=3715

Hence, the required probability is 3715.
