JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 13. probability

In a bolt factory, machines \(A, B\) and \(C\) manufacture respectively \(20 \%, 30 \%\) and \(50 \%\) of the total bolts. Of their output \(3,4\) and \(2\) percent are respectively defective bolts. A bolt is drawn at random from the product. If the bolt drawn is found the defective, then the probability that it is manufactured by the machine \(C\) is

  1. A \(\frac{2}{7}\)
  2. B \(\frac{9}{28}\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{14}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{7}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{5}{14}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P ( A )=\frac{2}{10} P ( B )=\frac{3}{10} P ( C )=\frac{5}{10}\) \(P (\text { Defective/A })=\frac{3}{100}, P (\text { Defective } / B )=\frac{4}{100}, P (\text { Defective } / C )=\frac{2}{100}\)…
