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

An electric instrument consists of two units. Each unit must function independently for the instrument to operate. The probability that the first unit functions is $0.9$ and that of the second unit is $0.8$. The instrument is switched on and it fails to operate. If the probability that only the first unit failed and the second unit is functioning is $p$,then $98p$ is equal to ..... .

Suppose that $E_1$ and $E_2$ are two events of a random experiment such that $P(E_1) = \frac{1}{4}$,$P(E_2 / E_1) = \frac{1}{2}$ and $P(E_1 / E_2) = \frac{1}{4}$. Observe the lists given below. The correct matching of List-$I$ with List-$II$ is:
