Hello Student,
Please find the answer to your question
To draw 2 black, 4 white and 3 red balls in order is same as arranging two black balls at first 2 places, 4 white at next 4 place, (3rd to 6th place) and 3 red at still next 3 places (7th to 9th place), I.e., B1 B2 W1 W2 W3 W4 R1 R2 R3, which can be done in 2! x 4! x 3! Ways. And total ways of arranging all 2 + 4 + 3 = 9 balls is 9!
∴ Required probability = 2! x 4! x 3!/9! = 1/1260

Thanks
