A bag contains 4 Red and 6 Black balls. A ball is drawn at random from the bag, its colour is observed and this ball along with 3 additional balls of the same colour are returned to the bag. If now a ball is drawn at random from the bag, then the probability that this drawn ball is red is
- A \(\frac{41}{65}\)
- B \(\frac{24}{65}\)
- C \(\frac{26}{65}\)
- D \(\frac{28}{65}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{26}{65}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
i. Probability that the first ball is black and second is red.
Total number of black balls \(=6\)
Total number of red balls \(=4\)
Probability of getting black ball in first draw \(=\frac{6}{10}\).
Now, number of black balls \(=9\) and Total number of balls = 13
\(\therefore \quad\) Probability of getting red ball in second draw \(=\frac{4}{13}\).
ii. Probability that both the balls are red.
Probability of getting red ball in first draw \(=\frac{4}{10}\).
Now for second draw, -
Number of red balls \(=7\) and
Total number of balls \(=13\).
\(\therefore \quad\) Probability of getting red ball in second draw \(=\frac{7}{13}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Total probability of drawing red ball
\(\begin{aligned}
& =\left(\frac{6}{10} \times \frac{4}{13}\right)+\left(\frac{4}{10} \times \frac{7}{13}\right) \\
& =\frac{24+28}{130} \\
& =\frac{26}{65}
\end{aligned}\)
Total number of black balls \(=6\)
Total number of red balls \(=4\)
Probability of getting black ball in first draw \(=\frac{6}{10}\).
Now, number of black balls \(=9\) and Total number of balls = 13
\(\therefore \quad\) Probability of getting red ball in second draw \(=\frac{4}{13}\).
ii. Probability that both the balls are red.
Probability of getting red ball in first draw \(=\frac{4}{10}\).
Now for second draw, -
Number of red balls \(=7\) and
Total number of balls \(=13\).
\(\therefore \quad\) Probability of getting red ball in second draw \(=\frac{7}{13}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Total probability of drawing red ball
\(\begin{aligned}
& =\left(\frac{6}{10} \times \frac{4}{13}\right)+\left(\frac{4}{10} \times \frac{7}{13}\right) \\
& =\frac{24+28}{130} \\
& =\frac{26}{65}
\end{aligned}\)
