    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    We may have(1 black and 2 non-black) or (2 black and 1 non-black) or (3 black).

     

    Required number of ways = (3C1 x 6C2) + (3C2 x 6C1) + (3C3)

                                               

                                             =[3x\( \frac { 6*5 } { 2 *1}\)]+[\(\frac { 3*2 } { 2 *1} \)x6]+1

                                             

                                            =(45 + 18 + 1) 

                                               

                                             = 64
