એક થેલામાં બે દડા છે જેમાંથી એક સફેદ અને એક કાળો છે. જો થેલામાં એક સફેદ દડો મૂકવામાં આવે છે અને પછી એક દડાની યાર્દચ્છિક પસંદગી કરવામાં આવે છે તો તે સફેદ હોય તેની સંભાવના મેળવો.

A

$\frac{1}{4}$

B

$\frac{2}{3}$

C

$\frac{1}{5}$

D

$\frac{1}{3}$

Solution

We know that there are two ball in the urn and each can be either white or black ball so there will be three case, 

$1) BB$

$2)WW$ 

$3)BW$

Now when we will put a white ball in the urn we will get our cases as , 

$1) BBW$ 

$2)WWW$ 

$3)BWW$ 

Now probability that the drawn ball is white from first case $=\frac{1}{3}$

Probability that the drawn ball is white from second case $=\frac{3}{3}=1$   [because all three balls are white] 

Probability that the drawn ball is white from third case $=\frac{2}{3}$

Now all these three cases are independent of each other so 

Required probability $\frac{1}{3} \times 1 \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{9}$
