In a box, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither red nor green? Answer: 1/3

Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21. Let E = event that the ball drawn is neither red nor green = event that the ball drawn is blue. ∴ n(E) = 7. ∴ P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 7/21 = 1/3. .
