Two boxes containing candies are placed on a table. The boxes are labelled B1 and B2. Box B1 contains 7 cinnamon candies and 4 ginger candies. Box B2 contains 3 cinnamon candies and 10 pepper candies. The boxes are arranged so that the probability of selecting box B1 is 1⁄3 and the probability of selecting box B2 is 2⁄3. Suresh is blindfolded and asked to select a candy. He will win a colour TV if he selects a cinnamon candy. If he wins a colour TV, what is the probability that the marble was from the first box?
