Favourable Cases -

Ball picked...

→ White frm I, White frm II, White frm III
= 4/9*4/8*6/10 = 96/720

→ White frm I, Black frm II, White frm III
= 4/9*4/8*5/10 = 80/720

→ Black frm I, White frm II, White frm III
= 5/9*3/8*6/10 = 90/720

→ Black frm I, Black II, White frm III
= 5/9*5/8*5/10 = 125/720

Summing up all, we'll get - P(white frm III) = 391/720.
