A single which can can be green or red with probability `2/3 and 1/5` respectively, is received by station A and then transmitted to station B. The probability of each station reciving the signal correctly is `3/4.` If the singal received at station B is green, then the probability that original singal was green is

A

`3/5`

B

`6/7`

C

`20/23`

D

`9/20`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Even G = original signal is green
`E_(1)=A` receives the signal correct
`E_(2)=B` receives the signal correct
E = Signal received by B is green
P (Signal received by B is green)
`=P(GE_(1)E_(2))+P(GbarE_(1)barE_(2))+P(barGE_(1)barE_(2))+P(barGbarE_(1)E_(2))`
`P(E)=(46)/(5xx16)`
`P(G//E)(40//5xx16)/(46//5xx16)=20/23 `
