Options
- A39 70
- B37 70
- C41 70
- D33 70
Correct answer
A. 39 70
Step-by-step solution
There are two urns Urn 1 contains 3 green and 2 black balls. Urn 2 contains 2 green and 5 black balls. Let A be event of selecting black ball. Probability of selecting black ball from urn 1= 2 5 Probability of selecting black ball from urn 2= 5 7 Since, one urn is selected at random hence selecting one urn have probability 1 2 . P(A)= 1 2 ( 2 5 + 5 7 )= 1 2 ( 14+25 35 )= 39 70
