There are two bags. Bag-1 contains 4 white and 6 black balls and Bag-2 contains 5 white and 5 black balls. A die is rolled, if it shows a number divisible by 3, a ball is drawn from Bag-1, else a ball is drawn from Bag-2. If the ball drawn is not black in colour, the probability that it was not drawn from Bag-2 is: |
$\frac{4}{9}$ $\frac{3}{8}$ $\frac{2}{7}$ $\frac{4}{19}$ |
$\frac{2}{7}$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{2}{7}$ Probability of selecting bag I = $P(I)=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$ bag II = $P(II)=\frac{2}{3}$ W → white ball selected B → black ball selected $P(W|I)=\frac{4}{10}$, $P(B|I)=\frac{6}{10}$ $P(W|II)=\frac{5}{10}$, $P(B|II)=\frac{5}{10}$ So P(Not black ball was drawn not from bag 2) $=P(I|W)=\frac{P(I)P(W|I)}{P(I)P(W|I)+P(II)P(W|II)}$ $=\frac{1/3×4/10}{1/3×4/10+2/3×5/10}$ $=\frac{4}{4+10}=\frac{2}{7}$ |
