JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 13. probability

An urn contains \(5\) red and \(2\) green balls. A ball is drawn at random from the urn. If the drawn ball is green, then a red ball is added to the urn and if the drawn ball is red, then a green ball is added to the urn; the original ball is not returned to the urn. Now, a second ball is drawn at random from it. The probability that the second ball is red, is

  1. A \(\frac {26}{49}\)
  2. B \(\frac {32}{49}\)
  3. C \(\frac {27}{49}\)
  4. D \(\frac {21}{49}\)
