Hello Student,
Please find the answer to your question
Number of ways drawing at least one black ball = 1 black and 2 other or 2 black and 1 other or 3 black
= 3 C1 x 6 C2 + 3 C2 x 6 C1 + 3 C3 = 3 x 15 + 3 x 6 + 1
= 45 + 18 + 1 = 64
ALTERNATE SOLUTION:
Number of ways drawing at least one black ball
= Total ways No. of ways of drawing no black ball
= 9 C36 C3 = 84 – 20 = 64

Thanks
