A bag contains NN balls out of which 3 balls are white, 6 balls are green, and the remaining balls are blue. Assume that the balls are identical otherwise. Three balls are drawn randomly one after the other without replacement. For i=1,2,3i=1,2,3, let Wi,GiW_i, G_i, and BiB_i denote the events that the ball drawn in the ith i^{\text{th }} draw is a white ball, green ball, and blue ball, respectively. If the probability P(W1∩G2∩B3)=25NP\left(W_1 \cap G_2 \cap B_3\right)=\frac{2}{5 N} and the conditional probability P(B3∣W1∩G2)=29P\left(B_3 \mid W_1 \cap G_2\right)=\frac{2}{9}, then NN equals ________.A bag contains N balls out of which 3 balls are white, 6 balls are green, and the remaining balls are blue.

Step-by-step solution

A bag contains N balls out of which 3 balls are white, 6 balls are green, and the remaining balls are blue. Assume that Given P(W1∩G2∩B3)=25 N\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{W}_1 \cap \mathrm{G}_2 \cap \mathrm{B}_3\right)=\frac{2}{5 \mathrm{~N}} and P(B3∣W1∩G2)=29\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{B}_3 \mid \mathrm{W}_1 \cap \mathrm{G}_2\right)=\frac{2}{9}⇒P(B3∩W1∩G2)P(W1∩G2)=29⇒25 N×N×(N−1)3×6=29⇒N=11\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{B}_3 \cap \mathrm{W}_1 \cap \mathrm{G}_2\right)}{\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{W}_1 \cap \mathrm{G}_2\right)}=\frac{2}{9} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{2}{5 \mathrm{~N}} \times \frac{\mathrm{N} \times(\mathrm{N}-1)}{3 \times 6}=\frac{2}{9} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{N}=11\end{aligned}$$
