Bag 'P' contains 3 white, 2 red, 5 blue balls and bag 'Q' contains 2 white, 3 red, 5 blue balls. A ball is chosen at random from ' P ' and is placed in ' Q '. If a ball is chosen from bag ' \(Q\) ' at random, then the probability that it is a red ball is

  1. A \(\frac{9}{50}\)
  2. B \(\frac{13}{45}\)
  3. C \(\frac{16}{55}\)
  4. D \(\frac{12}{35}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{16}{55}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using multiplication theorem of probability. Required probability \(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{3}{10} \times \frac{3}{11}+\frac{2}{10} \times \frac{4}{11}+\frac{5}{10} \times \frac{3}{11} \\ & =\frac{9+8+15}{110}=\frac{32}{110}=\frac{16}{55} . \end{aligned}\)
