Urn A contains 6 red and 4 black balls and urn B contains 4 red and 6 black balls. One ball is drawn at random from urn A and placed in urn B. Then, one ball is drawn at random from urn B and placed in urn A. If one ball is drawn at random from urn A, the probability that it is found to be red, is….
Correct Answer – (d)
Fist deraw is from urn A, second draw is from urn B and third draw is again from urn A.
Let veents `A_(R)and A_(B)` be drawing red ball and block ball, respectively, from bag A.
Also, let events `B_(R)and B_(B)` be drawing red ball and black ball, respectively, from bag B.
Case I :
`A_(R)toB_(R)toA_(R)`
Required probability,
`P(A_(R)nnB_(R)nnA_(R))=P(A_(R))P(B_(R)//A_(R))P(A_(R)//(A_(R)nnB_(R)))`
`=6/10xx5/11xx6/10=11/110.`
Case II:
`A_(R)toB_(B)toA_(R)`
Required probability
`P(A_(R)nnB_(B)nnA_(R))=P(A_(R))P(B_(B)//A_(R))P(A_(R)//(A_(R)nnB_(B)))`
`=6/10xx6/11xx5/10=18/110`
Case III :
`A_(B)toB_(R)toA_(R)`
`P(A_(B)nnB_(R)nnA_(R))=P(A_(B))P(B_(R)//A_(B))P(A_(R)//(A_(B)nnB_(R)))`
`=4/10xx4/11xx7/10=56/550`
Case IV :
Required probability
`P(A_(B)nnB_(B)nnA_(R))=P(A_(B))P(B_(B)//A_(B))P(A_(R)//(A_(B)nnB_(B)))`
`=4/10xx7/11xx6/10=84/550`
`therefore` Total probability `=18/110+18/110+56/550+84/550`
`=(90+90+56+84)/(550)=320/550=32/55`
