In a college,$25\%$ of the boys and $10\%$ of the girls offer Mathematics. The girls constitute $60\%$ of the total number of students. If a student is selected at random and is found to be studying Mathematics,the probability that the student is a girl,is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{8}$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{8}$
  • D

$A$ 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 $.....$ .

$A$ box contains $n$ coins,$m$ of which are fair and the rest are biased. When a biased coin is tossed,the probability of getting a head is twice as likely as tail. $A$ coin is drawn from the box at random and is tossed twice. It is found that the first time it shows head and the second time it shows tail. Then,the probability that the coin drawn is fair is
