The bag contains 7 black and 4 red balls, 

i.e., 7 + 4 = 11 balls. 

∴ 3 balls can be drawn out of 11 balls in 11C3 ways.

∴ n(S) = 11C3

(i) Let event A: All 3 balls drawn are black. 

There are 7 black balls. 

∴ 3 black balls can be drawn from 7 black balls in 7Cways.

∴ n(A) = 7C3

(ii) Let event B: Out of 3 balls drawn, one is black and two are red. 

There are 7 black and 4 red balls. 

∴ One black ball can be drawn from 7 black balls in 7Cways and 2 red balls can be drawn from 4 red balls in 4Cways.

∴ n(A) =  7C4C2
