Hi,Number of ways in which four balls can be picked such that each color is picked at least once = 6*4*2*6 + 6*4*2*4 + 6*4*2*2 = 288+192+96 = 576Number of ways in which fours balls can be picked randomly with replacement = 12*12*12*12 Therefore, required probability = 576/144*144 = 1/36Hope this helpsThanks
