Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{8}{17}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\mathrm{B}_{1}\) be the event where Box-I is selected. \(\mathrm{B}_{2} \rightarrow\) where box-II selected \(P\left(B_{1}\right)=P\left(B_{2}\right)=\frac{1}{2}\) Let \(\mathrm{E}\) be the event where selected card is non prime. For \(\mathrm{B}_{1}:\) Prime numbers :…
