$A$ company produces $10,000$ items per day. On a particular day, $2500$ items were produced on machine $A$, $3500$ on machine $B$, and $4000$ on machine $C$. The probability that an item produced by machines $A, B, C$ is defective is $2 \%$, $3 \%$, and $5 \%$, respectively. If one item is selected at random from the output and is found to be defective, then the probability that it was produced by machine $C$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{10}{71}$
  • B
    $\frac{16}{71}$
  • C
    $\frac{40}{71}$
  • D
    $\frac{21}{71}$

$A$ factory has a total of three manufacturing units,$M_1, M_2$,and $M_3$,which produce bulbs independently. The units $M_1, M_2$,and $M_3$ produce bulbs in the proportions of $2: 2: 1$,respectively. It is known that $20\%$ of the bulbs produced in the factory are defective. It is also known that,of all the bulbs produced by $M_1, 15\%$ are defective. Suppose that,if a randomly chosen bulb produced in the factory is found to be defective,the probability that it was produced by $M_2$ is $\frac{2}{5}$. If a bulb is chosen randomly from the bulbs produced by $M_3$,then the probability that it is defective is $.....$ .
