    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Total number of balls = (2+3+2) = 7
    Let S be the sample space.
    Then, n (S) = the total number of ways of drawing two balls out of 7:
    = 7C2

    Let E is the event of drawing 2 balls, none of which is blue.

    n (E) = number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of (2+3) balls.

    = 5C2
