Answer:
The correct option is B.
Explanation:
Total number of balls in the bag = 15 red + 20 black = 35
Winning condition: If the ball is red and numbered 3 or if it is black and numbered 1 or 2
Number of red balls numbered 3 = 40% of 15 = 6
Number of black balls numbered 1 or 2 = 70% of 20 = 14
Probability of winning = (6+14)/35 = 20/35 = 4/7
