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 at random from `U_1,` and put into `U_2`. . Now `1` ball is drawn at random from `U_2,` .61 . The probability of the drawn ball from `U_2,` being white is

A

`13/30`

B

`23/30`

C

`19/30`

D

`11/30`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the probability of drawing a white ball from urn \( U_2 \) after transferring balls from urn \( U_1 \) based on the outcome of the coin toss. ### Step 1: Identify the total number of balls in urns - Urn \( U_1 \) contains 3 white and 2 red balls, totaling 5 balls. - Urn \( U_2 \) initially contains 1 white ball. ### Step 2: Determine the outcomes based on the coin toss - If the coin shows heads (H), 1 ball is drawn from \( U_1 \) and placed in \( U_2 \). - If the coin shows tails (T), 2 balls are drawn from \( U_1 \) and placed in \( U_2 \). ### Step 3: Calculate the probabilities for each case 1. **Case 1: Coin shows Heads (H)** - Probability of getting heads: \( P(H) = \frac{1}{2} \) - The probability of drawing a white ball from \( U_1 \): \( P(W|H) = \frac{3}{5} \) - If a white ball is drawn, \( U_2 \) will have 2 white balls (1 original + 1 drawn). - The probability of drawing a white ball from \( U_2 \) in this case: \[ P(W|H) = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \] - The probability of drawing a red ball from \( U_1 \): \( P(R|H) = \frac{2}{5} \) - If a red ball is drawn, \( U_2 \) will have 1 white and 1 red ball. - The probability of drawing a white ball from \( U_2 \) in this case: \[ P(W|H) = \frac{1}{2} \] 2. **Case 2: Coin shows Tails (T)** - Probability of getting tails: \( P(T) = \frac{1}{2} \) - The probability of drawing 2 balls from \( U_1 \): - The combinations of drawing 2 white balls: \( \frac{3C2}{5C2} = \frac{3}{10} \) - The combinations of drawing 1 white and 1 red ball: \( \frac{3C1 \cdot 2C1}{5C2} = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} \) - The combinations of drawing 2 red balls: \( \frac{2C2}{5C2} = \frac{1}{10} \) - If 2 white balls are drawn, \( U_2 \) will have 3 white balls: \[ P(W|T, 2W) = \frac{3}{3} = 1 \] - If 1 white and 1 red ball are drawn, \( U_2 \) will have 2 white and 1 red ball: \[ P(W|T, 1W, 1R) = \frac{2}{3} \] - If 2 red balls are drawn, \( U_2 \) will have 1 white and 2 red balls: \[ P(W|T, 2R) = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 4: Combine the probabilities using the law of total probability Now, we can combine these probabilities: \[ P(W) = P(W|H)P(H) + P(W|T)P(T) \] Where: - \( P(W|H) = P(W|H, W)P(W|H) + P(W|H, R)P(R|H) \) - \( P(W|T) = P(W|T, 2W)P(2W|T) + P(W|T, 1W, 1R)P(1W, 1R|T) + P(W|T, 2R)P(2R|T) \) Calculating each part: - For heads: \[ P(W|H) = 1 \cdot \frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5} \] - For tails: \[ P(W|T) = 1 \cdot \frac{3}{10} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{6}{15} + \frac{1}{30} = \frac{9}{30} + \frac{12}{30} + \frac{1}{30} = \frac{22}{30} \] ### Final Probability Calculation Now substituting back into the total probability: \[ P(W) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{4}{5} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{22}{30} \] Calculating this gives: \[ P(W) = \frac{2}{5} + \frac{11}{30} = \frac{12}{30} + \frac{11}{30} = \frac{23}{30} \] ### Conclusion The probability of drawing a white ball from \( U_2 \) is \( \frac{23}{30} \).

To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the probability of drawing a white ball from urn \( U_2 \) after transferring balls from urn \( U_1 \) based on the outcome of the coin toss. ### Step 1: Identify the total number of balls in urns - Urn \( U_1 \) contains 3 white and 2 red balls, totaling 5 balls. - Urn \( U_2 \) initially contains 1 white ball. ### Step 2: Determine the outcomes based on the coin toss - If the coin shows heads (H), 1 ball is drawn from \( U_1 \) and placed in \( U_2 \). ...
