Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Bag \(1 \rightarrow 4 w, 5 B\) Bag \(2 \rightarrow n w, 3 B\) \((\mathrm{I}) \rightarrow\) Transferred ball is white \(P(w)=\frac{n+1}{n+4} \cdot \frac{4}{9}\) (II) \(\rightarrow\) Transferred ball is black \(P(w)=\frac{5}{9} \cdot \frac{n}{n+4}\)…
