$A$ shopkeeper buys a particular type of electric bulbs from three manufacturers $M_1, M_2$,and $M_3$. He buys $25 \%$ of his requirement from $M_1$,$45 \%$ from $M_2$,and $30 \%$ from $M_3$. Based on past experience,he found that $2 \%$ of type $M_3$ bulbs are defective,whereas only $1 \%$ of type $M_1$ and type $M_2$ bulbs are defective. If a bulb chosen by him at random is defective,then the probability that it was of type $M_3$ is

  • A
    $\frac{5}{13}$
  • B
    $\frac{6}{13}$
  • C
    $\frac{7}{13}$
  • D
    $\frac{8}{13}$

An unbiased coin is tossed. If the outcome is a head,then a pair of unbiased dice is rolled and the sum of the numbers obtained on them is noted. If the toss of the coin results in a tail,then a card from a well-shuffled pack of nine cards numbered $1, 2, 3, \dots, 9$ is randomly picked and the number on the card is noted. The probability that the noted number is either $7$ or $8$ is

Three boxes $B_1$,$B_2$ and $B_3$ contain balls with different colors as follows:
Box White,Black,Red
$B_1$ $2, 1, 2$
$B_2$ $3, 2, 4$
$B_3$ $4, 3, 2$

$A$ die is thrown. Box $B_1$ is chosen if either $1$ or $2$ turns up. Box $B_2$ is chosen if $3$ or $4$ turns up and box $B_3$ is chosen if $5$ or $6$ turns up. Having chosen a box in this way,a ball is drawn at random from that box. If the ball drawn is found to be Red,then the probability that it is drawn from box $B_2$ is
