JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 13. probability

There are three bags \(X\), \(Y\) and \(Z\). Bag \(X\) contains \(5\) one-rupee coins and \(4\) five-rupee coins; Bag \(\mathrm{Y}\) contains \(4\) one-rupee coins and \(5\) five-rupee coins and Bag \(\mathrm{Z}\) contains \(3\) one-rupee coins and \(6\) five-rupee coins. A bag is selected at random and a coin drawn from it at random is found to be a one-rupee coin. Then the probability, that it came from bag \(\mathrm{Y}\), is :

  1. A \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{4}\)
  4. D  \(\frac{5}{12}\)

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(X\ \&\ Y\ \&\ Z\) 5 one \(\&\ 4\) five 4 one \(\&\ 5\) five 3 one \(\&\ 6\) five \(P=\frac{4 / 9}{5 / 9+4 / 9+3 / 9}=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}\)
