BagAA contains 33 white, 77 red balls and bag BB contains 33 white, 22 red balls. One bag is selected at random and a ball is drawn from it. The probability of drawing the ball from the bag AA, if the ball drawn in white, is :Bag A contains 3 white, 7 red balls and bag B contains 3 white, 2 red balls. One bag is selected at random and a ball

Options

  1. A14\dfrac{1}{4}
  2. B19\dfrac{1}{9}
  3. C13\dfrac{1}{3}
  4. D310\dfrac{3}{10}

Correct answer

C. 13\dfrac{1}{3}

Step-by-step solution

Given: Given balls in bags are A→3W,7RA \to 3W, 7R, B→3W,2RB \to 3W, 2R

Let, E1:A{E}_{1}: A is selected

Bag A contains 3 white, 7 red balls and bag B contains 3 white, 2 red balls. One bag is selected at random and a ball

, E2:B{E}_{2}: B is selected

and EE: white ball is drawn

Using Baye's theorem,
⇒P(E1E)=P(E1)⋅P(EE1)P(E1)⋅P(EE1)+P(E2)⋅P(EE2)⇒ P\left(\dfrac{{E}_{1}}{E}\right) = \dfrac{P ( {E}_{1} ) \cdot P\left(\dfrac{E}{{E}_{1}}\right)}{P\left({E}_{1}\right) \cdot P\left(\dfrac{E}{{E}_{1}}\right) + P\left({E}_{2}\right) \cdot P\left(\dfrac{E}{{E}_{2}}\right)}

⇒P(E1E)=12×31012×310+12×35⇒ P\left(\dfrac{{E}_{1}}{E}\right) = \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{3}{10}}{\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{3}{10} + \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{3}{5}}

⇒P(E1E)=320320+620⇒ P\left(\dfrac{{E}_{1}}{E}\right) = \dfrac{\dfrac{3}{20}}{\dfrac{3}{20} + \dfrac{6}{20}}

⇒P(E1E)=33+6⇒ P\left(\dfrac{{E}_{1}}{E}\right) = \dfrac{3}{3 + 6}

⇒P(E1E)=13⇒ P\left(\dfrac{{E}_{1}}{E}\right) = \dfrac{1}{3}
