#B,B=20/132,R,R= 6/132 , G,G=12/132, B &G = 40/132 , B & R =30/132, R & G = 24/132#

Explanation:

Blue:#B#, Red: #R# , Green: #G#
#B=5, R=3, G=4 ; T=(5+3+4)=12#

Probability:Blue -first
#B,B = 5/12*4/11=20/132#
#B,R = 5/12*3/11=15/132#
#B,G = 5/12*4/11=20/132#
Red -first
#R,R = 3/12*2/11=6/132#
#R,B = 3/12*5/11=15/132#
#R,G = 3/12*4/11=12/132#
Green -first
#G,G = 4/12*3/11=12/132#
#G,B = 4/12*5/11=20/132#
#G,R = 4/12*3/11=12/132#
