As we learnt in

Theorem of Combination -

Each of the different groups or selection which can be made by taking r things from n things is called a combination.

^{n}c_{r}=\frac{(n)!}{r!(n-r)!}

- wherein

Where 1\leq r\leq n

 

 Total marbles are

5 Red, 4 Black, 3 White marbles.

4 marbles are drawn, atmost 3 of them are red.

Cases are

    3 R    1 other \Rightarrow\ \; ^{5}C_{3}\times^{7}C_{1}=70

    2 R    2 other \Rightarrow\ \; ^{5}C_{2}\times^{7}C_{2}=210

    1 R    3 other  \Rightarrow\ \; ^{5}C_{1}\times^{7}C_{3}=175

Zero R  4 other  \Rightarrow\ \; ^{5}C_{0}\times^{7}C_{4}=\frac{35}{490}

Correct option is 4.
