QJEEAdv22Ma9a46: JEE Advanced 2022 Mathematics - Class 12 JEEAdv22Ma9a46 Solution: Suppose that Box-I contains 8 red, 3 blue and 5 green balls,…

Suppose that

Box-I contains 8 red, 3 blue and 5 green balls,

Box-II contains 24 red, 9 blue and 15 green balls,

Box-III contains 1 blue, 12 green and 3 yellow balls,

Box-IV contains 10 green, 16 orange and 6 white balls.

A ball is chosen randomly from Box-I; call this ball bb . If bb is red then a ball is chosen randomly from Box-II, if bb is blue then a ball is chosen randomly from Box-III, and if bb is green then a ball is chosen randomly from Box-IV. The conditional probability of the event 'one of the chosen balls is white' given that the event 'at least one of the chosen balls is green' has happened, is equal to

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 15256\frac{15}{256}
  • B 316\frac{3}{16}
  • C 552\frac{5}{52}
  • D 18\frac{1}{8}

JEE Advanced 2022 Paper 2 Online Mathematics - Probability Question 10 English Explanation

A (one of the chosen ball is white)

B (at least one of the chosen ball is green)

P(AB)=P(A∩B)P(B)=516×632516×1+816×1548+316×1216=15156=552
