There are three bags and . Bag contains 5 one-rupee coins and 4 five-rupee coins; Bag contains 4 one-rupee coins and 5 five-rupee coins and Bag contains 3 one-rupee coins and 6 five-rupee coins. A bag is selected at random and a coin drawn from it at random is found to be a one-rupee coin. Then the probability, that it came from bag , is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Define events
Let:
- be the events that bag is selected.
- be the event that the drawn coin is a one-rupee coin.
Since a bag is selected at random,
- Find conditional probabilities of drawing a one-rupee coin
-
Bag has one-rupee coins and five-rupee coins, total coins.
-
Bag has one-rupee coins and five-rupee coins, total coins.
-
Bag has one-rupee coins and five-rupee coins, total coins.
- Use Bayes' theorem
We need:
Substitute values:
- Simplify
Numerator:
Denominator:
Hence,
- Check options
- A: ❌
- B: ✅
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Therefore, the required probability is
