There are three bags B1, B2 and B3. The bag B1 contains 5 red and 5 green balls, B2 contains 3 red and 5 green balls, and B3 contains 5 red and 3 green balls. Bags B1, B2 and B3 have probabilities , and respectively of being chosen. A bag is selected at random and a ball is chosen at random from the bag. Then which of the following options is/are correct?
- AProbability that the chosen ball is green, given that the selected bag is B3, equals .
- BProbability that the selected bag is B3, given that the chosen ball is green, equals .
- CProbability that the chosen ball is green equals .
- DProbability that the selected bag is B3 and the chosen ball is green equals .

Correct answer: A, C
- Given data
Let denote the event that the chosen ball is green.
The bags are chosen with probabilities:
Composition of bags:
- : red, green
- : red, green
- : red, green
- Check Option A
Option A states:
From the composition of , this is true.
So, A is correct.
- Check Option C: total probability of getting a green ball
Using total probability:
Substitute values:
Compute each term:
So,
Take LCM :
Hence, C is correct.
- Check Option B: probability selected bag is given ball is green
Using Bayes' theorem:
Now,
And from above,
Therefore,
But option B says , which is incorrect.
So, B is incorrect.
- Check Option D: probability that selected bag is and chosen ball is green
Option D says , which is false.
So, D is incorrect.
- Final conclusion
Correct options are:
This matches the stored correct answer.
