A bag contains \(4\) red and \(6\) black balls. A ball is drawn at random from the bag, its colour is observed and this ball along with two additional balls of the same colour are re­ turned to the bag. Ifnow a ball is drawn at random from the bag, then the probability that this drawn ball is red, is :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{2}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(R_{t}\) be the even of drawing red ball in \(t^{\text {th }}\) draw and \(B_{t}\) be the event of drawing black ball in \(t^{\text {th }}\) draw. Now, in the given bag there are \(4\) red and \(6\) black balls. \(P\left(R_{1}\right)=\frac{4}{10}\) and…
