Dear Student

Given that, the total number of balls = 6 balls

Let A and B be the red and black balls respectively,

The probability that two balls drawn are different = P(the first ball drawn is red)(the second ball drawn is black)+ P(the first ball drawn is black)P(the second ball drawn is red)

= (2/6)(4/5) + (4/6)(2/5)

=(8/30)+ (8/30)

= 16/30

= 8/15
hence, C is the correct option

Thanks
