there are only 2W and 2B u must get 1B in the fourth draw and that must be the 2nd B so in the first 3 draws u should have got 2W and 1B in whatever order.


WWB =\frac{ 2}{4}*\frac{1}{3}*\frac{2}{2}\\\\<br/>WBW = \frac{ 2}{4}*\frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{2}\\\\<br/>BWW =\frac{ 2}{4}\;*\;\frac{2}{3}*\;\frac{1}{2}\\<br/>the\;sum\;of\;all\;this\;is\;the\;ans\;<br/>=\frac{1}{2}
