Explanation:

is there something missing in the question ?

or is this meant to be a trick question ?

let me repeat :

pot1 contains 5 black and 7 white beads

pot2 contains 6 white beads (and nothing else, right ?)

then one bead is drawn from each pot.

so, 1 bead from pot1, and 1 bead from pot2.

the bead from pot1 is either white or black.

the bead from pot2 is white for sure.

so, the probability to get at least 1 white bead is 100% or 1, as there will be always the white bead taken from pot2.
