A shopkeeper buys a particular type of electric bulbs from three manufactures \(M_1, M_2\) and \(M_3\). He buys \(25 \%\) of his requirement from \(M_1, 45 \%\) from \(M_2\), and \(30 \%\) from \(M_3\). Based on past experience he found that \(2 \%\) of type \(\mathrm{M}_3\) bulbs are defective, where as only \(1 \%\) of type \(M_1\) and type \(\mathrm{M}_2\) are detective. If a bulb chosen by him at random is defective, then the probability that it was of type \(M_3\) is

  1. A \(\frac{5}{13}\)
  2. B \(\frac{6}{13}\)
  3. C \(\frac{7}{13}\)
  4. D \(\frac{8}{13}\)
