There are two boxes, each containing $10$ balls. In each box, some are black and the rest are white. $A$ ball is drawn at random from one of the boxes and it is found to be black. If the probability that the black ball drawn is from the second box is $\frac{1}{5}$, then the number of black balls in the first box is:

  • A
    $5$ or $10$
  • B
    $2$ or $7$
  • C
    $4$ or $8$
  • D
    $3$ or $6$ or $9$
