A box contains `4` white and `3` black balls. Another box contains `3` white and `4` black balls. A die is thrown. If it exhibits a number `ge 3`, the ball is drawn from the first box. Otherwise, a ball is drawn from the second box. A ball drawn is found to be black. The probability that it has been drawn from the second box is

A

`1//2`

B

`6//7`

C

`4//7`

D

`3//7`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Box `I to 4W, 3B`
Box `II to 3W, 4B`
Probability for choosing first box=`(3)/(6)=(1)/(2)`
Probability for chossing second box=`(1)/(2)`
`therefore` Required probability=`((3)/(14))/((3)/(14)+(4)/(14))=((3)/((14)/(7)))/((7)/(14))=(3)/(7)`
