उत्तर
P(A) = 0.4
P(A ∪ B) = 0.7
P(A/B) = 0.4
(i.e.,) `("P"("A" ∩ "B"))/("P"("B"))` = 0.4
⇒ P(A ∩ B) = 0.4 [P(B)] ...........(i)
But we know P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∪ B)
⇒ P(A ∩ B) = 0.4 + P(B) – 0.7
= P(B) – 0.3 .........(ii)
From (i) and (ii) (Equating R.H.S) we get
0.4 [P(B)] = P(B) – 0.3
0.3 = P(B)(1 – 0.4)
0.6 (P(B)) = 0.3
⇒ P(B) = `0.3/06`
= `3/6`
= 0.5

Box I contains two white and three black balls. Box II contains four white and one black balls and box III contains three white ·and four black balls. A dice having three red, two yellow and one green face, is thrown to select the box. If red face turns up, we pick up the box I, if a yellow face turns up we pick up box II, otherwise, we pick up box III. Then, we draw a ball from the selected box. If the ball is drawn is white, what is the probability that the dice had turned up with a red face?
