A doctor is to visit a patient. From past experience, it is known that the probabilities that he will come by train, bus, scooter or by car are (3)/(10), (1)/(5), (1)/(10), (2)/(5) respectively. The probabilities that he will be late are (1)/(4), (1)/(3), (1)/(12) , if he comes by train, bus and scooter respectively, but if he comes by car he will not be late. When he arrives, he is late. What is the probability that he comes by train?

A person measure the presssures of his car tyre to be 2 times 10^5 Pa At that time the temperature and pressure of the atmosphere are 27^@C and 1 times 10^5 Pa respectively. Then he travels to another city where the temperature and pressure of the atmosphere are 12^@C and 6.7 times 10^4 Pa respectively. Them what will be the pressure of his car tyre at that time. Assume the volume of the tyre is same in both cases.

In answering a question on a multiple choice test, a student either knows the answer or guesses. Let (3)/(4) be the probability that he knows the answer and (1)/(4) be the probability that he guesses. Assuming that a student who guesses at the answer will be correct with probability (1)/(4) . What is the probability that the student knows the answer given that he answered it correctly?
