Correct Answer - D
Let A nad B, respectively, be the events that urn A and urn B are selected.Let R be the event that the selected ball is red. Since tue urn is chosen at random, Therefore,
`P(A) =P(B)=1/2`
`and P(R)=P(A)P(R//A)+P(B)P(R//B)`
`=1/2xx5/10xx4/10=9/20`

Bag I ={3B,2W],Bag II={2B,4W} Let `E_(1)`=Event that bag I is selected `E_(2)`=Event that bag II is selected and E=Event that a black ball is selected `rArrP(E_(1))=1//2,P(E_(2))=1/2,P(E//E_(1))=3/5,P(E//E_(2))=2/6=1/3` `thereforeP(E)=P(E_(1))cdotP(E//E_(1))+P(E_(2))cdotP(E//E_(2))` `1/2cdot3/5+1/2cdot2/6=3/10+2/12` `=(18+10)/60=28/60=7/15`

Let U={m white, n black balls} `E_(1)`={First ball drawn of white colour} `E_(2)`={First ball drawn of black colour} and `E_(3)`={Second ball of white colour} `therefore P(E_(1))=m/(m+n)and P(E_(2))=n/(m+n)` Also, `P(E_(3)//E_(1))=(m+k)/(m+n+k)and P(E_(3)//E_(2))=m/(m+n+k)`...

An urn contains three red balls and n white balls. Mr. A draws two balls together from the urn. The probability that they have the same color is `1//2

Correct Answer - D In the first case, the urn contains 3 red and n white balls. The probability that color of both the balls matches is `(""^(3)C_(2)+""^(n)C_(2))/(""^(n+3)C_(2))=1/2` `or(6+n(n-1))/((n+3)(n+2))=1/2` `or2(n^(2)-n+6)=n^(2)+5n+6` `orn^(2)-7n+6=0`...

Correct Answer - A P (required) = P (all are white) + P (all are red) + P (all are black) `=1/6xx2/9xx3/12+3/6xx3/9xx4/12+2/6xx4/9xx2/12=6/648+36/648+40/648=82/648`
