### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Disease**: The question asks about the causative agent of Tuberculosis (TB). 2. **Know the Other Name**: Tuberculosis is also known as Koch's disease, named after the scientist Robert Koch who discovered the causative agent. 3. **Determine the Causative Organism**: The specific bacterium responsible for Tuberculosis is *Mycobacterium tuberculosis*. 4. **Understand the Pathogen's Effects**: This bacterium primarily affects the lungs but can also impact other organs such as lymph nodes, bones, and joints. It damages tissues and releases a toxin known as tuberculin. 5. **Modes of Infection**: Tuberculosis is transmitted through inhalation of droplets from an infected person, making it a contagious disease. 6. **Recognize Symptoms**: Common symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis include fever, cough, blood in sputum, chest pain, and weight loss. 7. **Evaluate the Options**: In the context of the question, you need to evaluate the options provided to identify which organism causes TB. The correct answer is *Mycobacterium tuberculosis*. 8. **Eliminate Incorrect Options**: Other options such as Aspergillus (causes Aspergillosis), Clostridium (causes Tetanus), and Vibrio (causes Cholera) do not cause tuberculosis. 9. **Conclude the Answer**: Therefore, the answer to the question "T.B is produced by" is *Mycobacterium tuberculosis*.

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
