    I think answer is a(1/36) but i am not sure it is 100% correct

    after seeing the colour of marble again he put it in the bag so again total number of marbles is 60
    Required Answer is=P(B)*P(G)*P(R)
    Probability for selecting Blue marble P(B)=10/60
    Probability for selecting Green marble P(G)=20/60
    Probability for selecting Red marble P(R)=30/60
    he did this process 3 times one after the other so multiply the above is required answer
    1/36
