it can be in two ways-( white, black, white., black.) or ( black, white, black, white). in first case, the probability is=(5/8)X(3/7)X(4/6)X(2/5)=1/14. IN SECOND CASE, IT IS=(3/8)X(5/7)X(2/6)X(4/5)=1/14. SO THE PROBABILITY IS=(1/14)+1/14)=1/7

let me know the the balls are alike or different....because the event for same balls =3c2*1*1 and different for different ball

Required Probability = P(WBWB) + P(BWBW) = 1/14 + 1/4 = 2/14 = 1 / 7
Comments

Two possible orders=> WBWB or BWBW in both cases the probability is (5*3*4*2)/(8*7*6*5) so counting both the orders the probability is (5*3*4*2)*2/(8*7*6*5) =(1/7)

There are 2 cases:- BWBW & WBWB Case1: probability for BWBW =(3/8)*(5/7)*(2/6)*(4/5) = 1/14 Case 2: WBWB = (5/8)*(3/7)*(4/6)*(2/5) = 1/14 So, total probability = 2/14 = 1/7
