    $\frac{37}{40}$

Let $U_1$ and $U_2$ be two urns such that $U_1$ contains $3$ white and $2$ red balls,and $U_2$ contains only $1$ white ball. $A$ fair coin is tossed. If it shows heads,$1$ ball is drawn at random from $U_1$ and transferred to $U_2$. If it shows tails,$2$ balls are drawn at random from $U_1$ and transferred to $U_2$. Now,$1$ ball is drawn at random from $U_2$. Given that the ball drawn from $U_2$ is white,what is the probability that the coin showed heads (in $/23$)?
