Let ways of choosing a white marble and a red marble be w
Let total ways of choosing 2 marbles be W

So, the Probability of choosing a white a red marble = \(\frac{w}{W}\)

w = \(\left(4\ choose\ 1\right)\ \cdot\ \left(2\ choose\ 1\right)\) = 8

W = \(\left(6\ choose\ 2\right)\) = 15

So answer is \(\frac{8}{15}\) B
