The probability for quantum creation of an inflationary universe with a pair of black holes in higher derivative theories has been studied. Considering a gravitational action which includes quadratic ($\alpha R^{2}$) and/or cubic term ($\beta R^{3}$) in scalar curvature in addition to a cosmological constant ($\Lambda$) in semiclassical approximation with Hartle-Hawking boundary condition, the probability has been evaluated. The action of the instanton responsible for creating such a universe, with spatial section with $S^{1}XS^{2}$ topology, is found to be less than that with a spatial $S^{3}$ topology, unless $\alpha < - \frac{1}{8 \Lambda}$ in $R^{2}$-theory. In the $R^{3}$ theory, however, there exists a set of solutions without a cosmological constant when $\beta R^{2} = 1$ and $\alpha = - 3 \sqrt{\beta}$ which admit primordial black holes (PBH) pair in an inflationary universe scenario. We note further that when $\beta R^{2} \neq 1$, one gets PBH pairs in the two cases : (i) with $\alpha$ and $\Lambda$ both positive and (ii) with $\Lambda$ positive and $\alpha$ negative satisfying a constraint $6 | \alpha | \Lambda > 1$. However, the relative probability for creation of an inflationary universe with a pair of black holes in the $R^{3}$-theory suppresses when $\alpha > - 2 \sqrt{\beta} $ or $|\alpha| < 2 \sqrt{\beta} $. However, if the above constraints are relaxed one derives interesting results leading to a universe with PBH in $R^{3}$-theory without cosmological constant.
