A Box \(B_1\) contains 3 blue balls and 6 red balls. Another Box \(B_2\) contains 8 blue balls and ' \(n\) ' red balls \((n \in N)\). A ball selected at random from a box is found to be red. If \(p\) is the probability that this red ball drawn is from box \(B_2\), then

  1. A \(\frac{1}{7} \leq p < \frac{3}{5}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{5} \leq p < 1\)
  3. C \(0 < p \leq \frac{3}{5}\)
  4. D \(0 \leq p \leq \frac{1}{7}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{7} \leq p < \frac{3}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to given information, the required \(\text {probability }=\frac{\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{n}{n+8}}{\left(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{n}{n+8}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{6}{3+6}\right)}\) (According to Baye's theorem)…
