Solution

The correct option is C

11243


Explanation for correct answer:

Step-1: Finding probability using classical approach.

Given, A bag contains 2 white and 4 black balls.

Total number of ball is 2+6=6.

The probability that of getting white ball is 26=13

The probability that of getting white ball is 46=23

Step-2: Finding probability that at least 4 of the balls drawn are white by using binomial distribution.

A ball drawn 5 times n=5.

The probability that at least 4 of the balls drawn are white is

Probability at x=4+Probability at x=5

=C45×134×231+C55×135×230

Step-3: Apply formula (Crn=n!n-r!×r!).

=5!4!×5-4!×181×23+1×1243×1=5×4!4!×1!×2243+1243=10+1243=11243

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
