    D 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total number of balls = 30 There are 3 colored balls present in 30 balls. When we take out 3 balls, there is a possibility that all three balls may be of different colors. But when we take out 4 balls (at least), then two balls of one color will come out. Hence, there will be a pair of the same color present in 4 balls.
