You are taking out candies one by one from a jar that has 10 red candies, 20 blue candies, and 30 green candies in it. What is the probability that there are at least 1 blue candy and 1 green candy left in the jar when you have taken out all the red candies? (Candies of same color are indistinguishable!)
Hint
Combinatorial problem. Consider a sequence of 60 candies, in which red candies finish before blue and green.
Answer
7/12
