The total number of marbles present is $$5+4+3+2 = 14$$
The number of ways of picking three marbles from them is $$^{14}C_3 = 364$$ If no marble is black, the three marbles should be picked from $$4+3+2 = 9$$ marbles.
The number of ways in which this can be done is $$^9C_3 = 84$$ Hence, the required probability is $$frac{84}{364} = frac{21}{91} = frac{3}{13}$$
