    first case

    1. probability of white ball in first replacement P(w)=4/10
    2. probability of black ball in first replacement P(b)=6/10
    3. probability of white ball in second replacement P'(w)=3/9
    4. probability of black ball in second replacement P'(b)=5/9

    Step-by-step explanation:

    now for ,

    the probability that the balls removed were the same colour =P(w)×P'(w)+P'(b)×P(b)

    =7/15
