A computer producing factory has only two plants `T_(1)` and `T_(2)`. Plant `T_(1)` produces 20% and plant `T_(2)` produces 80% of the total computers produced. 7% of computers produced in the factory turn out to be defective. It is known that P(computer turns out to bedefective, given that it is produced in plant `T_(1)`)=10P (computer turns out to be defective, given that it is produced in plant `T_(2)`), where P(E) denotes the probability of an event E.A computer produced in the factory is randomly selected and it does not turn out to be defective. Then, the probability that it is produced in plant `T_(2)`, is

A

`36/73`

B

`47/79`

C

`78/96`

D

`75/83`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`P(T_(1))=1/5`
`P(T_(2))=4/5`
`P(D)=7/100,`
where D is the event that computers produced in the factory turn out to be defective.
Given `P((D)/(T_(1)))=10.P((D)/(T_(2)))`
Let `P((D)/(T_(3)))=x`
`thereforeP(T_(1))xxP((D)/(T_(1)))+P(T_(2)).P((D)/(T_(2)))=P(D)=7/100`
`implies1/5xx10x+4/5xx x=7/100`
`impliesx=1/40`
`thereforeP((T_(2))/(D'))=(P((D')/(T_(2)))P(T_(2)))/(P((D')/T_(1))P(T_(1))+P((D')/(T_(2)))P(T_(2)))`
`=(39/40xx4/5)/(30/40xx1/5+39/40xx4/5)=(4/5xx39/40)/(93/100)=78/93`
