Given that the drawn ball from U2 is white, the probability that head appeared on the coin

A

`17/23`

B

`11/23`

C

`15/23`

D

`12/23`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`P((H)/(W))=(P(W//H)xxP(H))/(P(W//T).P(T)+(W//H).P(H))`
`=(1/2((3)/(2)xx1+2/5xx1/2))/(23//30)=12/23`

Let U_1 and U_2 be two urns such that U_1 contains 3 white and 2 red balls, and U_2 contains only 1 white ball. A fair coin is tossed. If head appears then 1 ball is drawn at random from U_1 and put into U_2. However, if tail appears then 2 balls are drawn from U_1 and put into U_2. Now, 1 ball is drawn at random from U_2 Given that the drawn ball from U_2 is white, the probability that head appeared on the coin is
