P(1st ball is white and 2nd is red),

                      \mathrm{p_1=\frac{4}{7} \times \frac{3}{6}=\frac{2}{7}}

                        

P(1st ball is white), \mathrm{p_2=\frac{4}{7}}

P(2nd will is red/1st ball is white)

                                 =\frac{\mathrm{\frac{p_1}{p_2}=\frac{2}{7}}}{\mathrm{\frac{4}{7}=\frac{1}{2}}}

Method II :

After removing Ist white ball, remaining balls in bag are 3 W & 3 R.

So P(red ball in 2 nd draw)

                                      =\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}
