A bag \(P\) contains 3 blue and 5 red balls. Another bag \(Q\) contains 4 blue and 6 red balls. A ball is drawn at random from one of the bags and is found to be red. The probability that it is from bag \(Q\) is

  1. A \(\frac{24}{49}\)
  2. B \(\frac{28}{49}\)
  3. C \(\frac{36}{49}\)
  4. D \(\frac{42}{49}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{24}{49}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(B_1\) : The event of selecting bag \(P\) \(B_2\) : The event of selecting bag \(Q\) \(A\) : The event of drawing red ball \(\therefore\) Required probability \(=P\left(E_2 / A\right)\)…
