Given three identical boxes $I$,$II$ and $III$,each containing two coins. In box $I$,both coins are gold coins,in box $II$,both are silver coins and in the box $III$,there is one gold and one silver coin. $A$ person chooses a box at random and takes out a coin. If the coin is of gold,what is the probability that the other coin in the box is also of gold?

  • A
