*[illustration 942598.jpg]
Probability of getting a pair of black socks = {{{30/182}}}
Probability of getting a pair of white socks = {{{56/182}}}
probability of getting a pair of the same colour = {{{(30+56)/182 = 86/182 = 43/91}}}
  
Answer:
Probability of getting a pair of the same colour = {{{43/91}}}
