Let R and B represent red marbles and black marbles respectively.
For a minimum of one of the three marbles chosen to be dark, if the first marble is red, the following three conditions will take place:
(1) Second marble is black and third marble is red i.e., RBR
(2) Second and third marble is black i.e., RBB
(3) Second marble is red and third marble is black i.e., RRB
The necessary likelihood is provided by,
P(atleast one black | first marble is red)
=P(RBR)+P(RBB)+P(RRB)
$=\left(\frac{5}{8}×\frac{3}{7}×\frac{4}{6}\right)+\left(\frac{5}{8}×\frac{3}{7}×\frac{2}{6}\right)+\left(\frac{5}{8}×\frac{4}{7}×\frac{3}{6}\right)$
$=\frac{25}{56}$
