$A$ student answers a multiple choice question with $5$ alternatives, of which exactly $1$ is correct. The probability that he knows the correct answer is $p$, where $0 < p < 1$. If he does not know the correct answer, he randomly ticks $1$ answer. Given that he has answered the question correctly, the probability that he did not tick the answer randomly is:

  • A
    $\frac{3 p}{4 p + 3}$
  • B
    $\frac{5 p}{3 p + 2}$
  • C
    $\frac{5 p}{4 p + 1}$
  • D
    $\frac{4 p}{3 p + 1}$

$A$ 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 $.....$ .

From a certain population, the probability of choosing a colour blind man is $\frac{1}{20}$ and that of a colour blind woman is $\frac{1}{10}$. If a randomly chosen person is found to be colour blind, then the probability that the person is a man is

For $k=1, 2, 3$,the box $B_k$ contains $k$ red balls and $(k+1)$ white balls. Let $P(B_1) = \frac{1}{2}$,$P(B_2) = \frac{1}{3}$,and $P(B_3) = \frac{1}{6}$. $A$ box is selected at random and a ball is drawn from it. If a red ball is drawn,then the probability that it comes from box $B_2$ is:

There are $3$ bags which are known to contain $2$ white and $3$ black balls; $4$ white and $1$ black balls and $3$ white and $7$ black balls respectively. $A$ ball is drawn at random from one of the bags and found to be a black ball. Then the probability that it was drawn from the bag containing the most black balls is
