EMP Q.28

0. A box A contains 2 white and 4 black balls. Another box B contains 5 white and 7 black balls. A ball is transferred from the box A to the box B, Then a ball is drawn from the box B The probability that it is white is

  • Option : A
  • Explanation : Probability of drawing a white ball from Box B will depend on whether 
    transferred ball is black or white.
    If a black ball is transferred then its probability is 4/6
    There are now 5 white and 8 black balls in the
    box B. Then probability of drawing white ball
    from the Box B = 5/13
    Hence probability of drawing a white ball from
    urn B, if the transferred ball is black

                                              Probability

    Similarly, probability of drawing a white ball
    from urn E, if transferred ball is white

     Probability
