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....

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C

Let R be drawing a red ball and B for drawing a black ball, then required probability
`=RRR+RBR+BRR+BBR`
`=((6)/(10)xx(5)/(11)xx(6)/(10))+((6)/(10)xx(6)/(11)xx(5)/(10))+((4)/(10)xx(4)/(11)xx(7)/(10))((4)/(10)xx(7)/(11)xx(6)/(10))`
`=(640)/(1100)=(32)/(55)`
