The urns A,BA, B and CC contains 44 red, 66 black; 55 red, 55 black and λ\lambda red, 44 black balls respectively. One of the urns is selected at random and a ball is drawn. If the ball drawn is red and the probability that it is drawn from urn CC is 0.40 . 4, then the square of length of the side of largest equilateral triangle, inscribed in the parabola y2=\lambdax{y}^{2} = \lambdax with one vertex at vertex of parabola isThe urns A, B and C contains 4 red, 6 black; 5 red, 5 black and λ red, 4 black balls respectively. One of the urns is

Correct answer

432

Step-by-step solution

Let RR be the event of drawing red balls.

P(RA)=410P\left(\dfrac{R}{A}\right) = \dfrac{4}{10}

P(RB)=510P\left(\dfrac{R}{B}\right) = \dfrac{5}{10}

P(RC)=λ4+λP\left(\dfrac{R}{C}\right) = \dfrac{\lambda}{4 + \lambda}

Now,

P(CR)=0.4P\left(\dfrac{C}{R}\right) = 0 . 4

⇒P(C)P(RC)P(A)P(RA)+P(B)P(RB)+P(C)P(RC)=410⇒ \dfrac{P\left(C\right)P\left(\dfrac{R}{C}\right)}{P\left(A\right)P\left(\dfrac{R}{A}\right) + P\left(B\right)P\left(\dfrac{R}{B}\right) + P\left(C\right)P\left(\dfrac{R}{C}\right)} = \dfrac{4}{10}

⇒13×(λλ+4)13×410+13×510+13×(λλ+4)=410⇒ \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3} \times \left(\dfrac{\lambda}{\lambda + 4}\right)}{\dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{4}{10} + \dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{5}{10} + \dfrac{1}{3} \times \left(\dfrac{\lambda}{\lambda + 4}\right)} = \dfrac{4}{10}

⇒(λλ+4)910+(λλ+4)=410⇒ \dfrac{\left(\dfrac{\lambda}{\lambda + 4}\right)}{\dfrac{9}{10} + \left(\dfrac{\lambda}{\lambda + 4}\right)} = \dfrac{4}{10}

⇒λλ+4=410[910+(λλ+4)]⇒ \dfrac{\lambda}{\lambda + 4} = \dfrac{4}{10}\left[\dfrac{9}{10} + \left(\dfrac{\lambda}{\lambda + 4}\right)\right]

⇒5λλ+4=2[910+(λλ+4)]⇒ \dfrac{5\lambda}{\lambda + 4} = 2\left[\dfrac{9}{10} + \left(\dfrac{\lambda}{\lambda + 4}\right)\right]

⇒5λλ+4=19λ+365(λ+4)⇒ \dfrac{5\lambda}{\lambda + 4} = \dfrac{19\lambda + 36}{5\left(\lambda + 4\right)}

⇒25λ=19λ+36⇒ 25\lambda = 19\lambda + 36

⇒6λ=36⇒ 6\lambda = 36

⇒λ=6⇒ \lambda = 6

So, parabola is

y2=6x=4×23×x{y}^{2} = 6x = 4 \times \dfrac{2}{3} \times x

Comparing with y2=4ax{y}^{2} = 4ax, we get

a=23a = \dfrac{2}{3}

Hence, we have

The urns A, B and C contains 4 red, 6 black; 5 red, 5 black and λ red, 4 black balls respectively. One of the urns is

Let P≡(23t2,43t)P ≡ \left(\dfrac{2}{3}{t}^{2}, \dfrac{4}{3}t\right)

In ∆OPQ∆ OPQ, we have

tan⁡(30°)=2atat2=2t\tan \left(30 °\right) = \dfrac{2at}{a{t}^{2}} = \dfrac{2}{t}

⇒2t=13⇒ \dfrac{2}{t} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

⇒t=23⇒ t = 2\sqrt{3}

Side length of triangle=4at=123= 4at = 12\sqrt{3}

Square of side of triangle

=(123)2=432= {\left(12\sqrt{3}\right)}^{2} = 432 units
