First we have to check all possible cases.for the third ball to be black,first ball can be 
white or black.second ball can be white or black.
case..1:first white second white third black
             2c1.1c1.2c1=4
case:2 :first white second black third black
             2c1.2c1.2c1=8
case 3:first black second white third black
            2c1.2c1.2c1=8
case 4:first black second black third black
            2c1.2c1.2c1=8
Favourable cases =4+8+8+8=28
    Probability =Favourable cases/total cases=28/44=7/11
if we have to add another black if black is drawn then answer is different
but it follows same procedure.actually the question doesn't have clarity in this case
