Total number of marbles $=10+20+30=60$

Number of ways of drawing $5$ marbles from $60$ marbles $=^{60} C_{5}$

All the drawn marbles will be blue if we draw $5$ marbles out of $20$ blue marbles.

$5$ blue marbles can be drawn from $20$ blue marbles in $^{20} C_{5}$ ways.

$\therefore$  Probability that all marbles will be blue $\frac{{^{20}{C_5}}}{{^{60}{C_5}}}$
