Paragraph: There are nn urns each containing (n+1)(n+1) balls such that the ith urn contains ii white balls and (n+1−i)(n+1-i) red balls. Let uiu_i be the event of selecting ith urn, i=1,2,3,…,nandWi=1,2,3, \ldots, n and W denotes the event of getting a white balls.Question: If nn is even and EE denotes the event of choosing even numbered urn \left(P \left(u_i\right)=\frac{1}{n}\right),thenthevalueof, then the value ofP(W / E) is

Options

  1. An+22n+1\frac{n+2}{2 n+1}
  2. Bn+22(n+1)\frac{n+2}{2(n+1)}
  3. Cnn+1\frac{n}{n+1}
  4. D1n+1\frac{1}{n+1}

Correct answer

B. n+22(n+1)\frac{n+2}{2(n+1)}

Step-by-step solution

P(W/E)=2+4+6+…n(n+1)2=n+22(n+1)P(W / E)=\frac{2+4+6+\ldots}{\frac{n(n+1)}{2}}=\frac{n+2}{2(n+1)}
