There are total 12 balls out of which 7 are red and 5 are green. This statement itself says the possibility of all 8 to be of same colour is nil. And to have at most 3 red, we require at least 5 green but we have only 5 green, this leave us with only one combination that is with 3 red and 5 green. No....

This question is too trivial. Answer: (7C3)x(5C5)=21. Replace 'atmost' with 'atleast' in the question. Then the solution will be (7C3)x(5C5)+(7C4)x(5C4)+ (7C5)x(5C3)+(7C6)x(5C2)+(7C7)x(5C1).
