A bag contains 4 red and 6 green balls. A ball is drawn at random, its colour is noted and is returned to the bag.
One additional ball of the colour drawn is put in the bag. Again a ball is then drawn from the bag. The probability of this ball to be of green colour is

  1. A \(\frac{7}{10}\)
  2. B \(\frac{4}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{3}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(G_2) = P(R_1)P(G_2|R_1) + P(G_1)P(G_2|G_1)\) \(P(G_2) = \left(\frac{4}{10} \cdot \frac{6}{11}\right) + \left(\frac{6}{10} \cdot \frac{7}{11}\right)\) \(P(G_2) = \frac{24}{110} + \frac{42}{110}\) \(P(G_2) = \frac{66}{110}\) \(P(G_2) = \frac{3}{5}\)
