Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

At least one green ball can be selected out of 5 green balls in $ 2^{5}-1 $ $ i.e. $ , in 31 ways. Similarly at least one blue ball can be selected from 4 blue balls in $ 2^{4}-1=15 $ ways. And at least one red or not red can be selected in $ (n+1)\ ! $ ways. Hence required number of ways = $ 31\times 15\times 8=3720 $ .
