Urn I : 1 white, 2 black and 3 red balls
Urn II : 2 white, 1 black and 1 red balls
Urn III : 4 white, 5 black and 3 red balls.

उत्तर
Let E1, E2 and E3 denote the events of selecting Urn I, Urn II and Urn III, respectively.
Let A be the event that the two balls drawn are white and red.
\[\therefore P\left( E_1 \right) = \frac{1}{3}\]
\[ P\left( E_2 \right) = \frac{1}{3} \]
\[ P\left( E_3 \right) = \frac{1}{3}\]
\[\text{ Now} , \]
\[P\left( A/ E_1 \right) = \frac{{}^1 C_1 \times^3 C_1}{{}^6 C_2} = \frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5}\]
\[P\left( A/ E_2 \right) = \frac{{}^2 C_1 \times^1 C_1}{{}^4 C_2} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}\]
\[P\left( A/ E_3 \right) = \frac{{}^4 C_1 \times^3 C_1}{{}^{12} C_2} = \frac{12}{66} = \frac{2}{11}\]
\[\text{ Using Bayes' theorem, we get } \]
\[\text{ Required probability} = P\left( E_1 /A \right) = \frac{P\left( E_1 \right)P\left( A/ E_1 \right)}{P\left( E_1 \right)P\left( A/ E_1 \right) + P\left( E_2 \right)P\left( A/ E_2 \right) + + P\left( E_3 \right)P\left( A/ E_3 \right)}\]
\[ = \frac{\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{11}}\]
\[ = \frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{11}} = \frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{33 + 55 + 30}{165}} = \frac{33}{118}\]
\[\text{ Required probability } = P\left( E_2 /A \right) = \frac{P\left( E_2 \right)P\left( A/ E_2 \right)}{P\left( E_1 \right)P\left( A/ E_1 \right) + P\left( E_2 \right)P\left( A/ E_2 \right) + + P\left( E_3 \right)P\left( A/ E_3 \right)}\]
\[ = \frac{\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{11}}\]
\[ = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{11}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{33 + 55 + 30}{165}} = \frac{55}{118}\]
\[\text{ Required probability} = P\left( E_3 /A \right) = \frac{P\left( E_3 \right)P\left( A/ E_3 \right)}{P\left( E_1 \right)P\left( A/ E_1 \right) + P\left( E_2 \right)P\left( A/ E_2 \right) + + P\left( E_3 \right)P\left( A/ E_3 \right)}\]
\[ = \frac{\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{11}}{\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{11}}\]
\[ = \frac{\frac{2}{11}}{\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{11}} = \frac{\frac{2}{11}}{\frac{33 + 55 + 30}{165}} = \frac{30}{118}\]
