If A and B are two events such that `P(A/B) = 2 xx P(B/A)` and P(A) + P(B) = `2/3`, then P(B) is equal to `underlinebb(2/9)`.
Explanation:
Given,
`P(A/B) = 2 xx P(B/A)`
`\implies (P(A ∩ B))/(P(B)) = 2 xx (P(A ∩ B))/(P(A))`
`\implies` P(A) = 2P(B) ...(i)
Now, P(A) + P(B) = `2/3`
From (i),
2P(B) + P(B) = `2/3`
`\implies` P(B) = `2/9`.

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?
