$A$ company produces $10,000$ items per day. On a particular day, $2500$ items were produced on machine $A$, $3500$ on machine $B$, and $4000$ on machine $C$. The probability that an item produced by machines $A, B, C$ is defective is $2 \%$, $3 \%$, and $5 \%$, respectively. If one item is selected at random from the output and is found to be defective, then the probability that it was produced by machine $C$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{10}{71}$
  • B
    $\frac{16}{71}$
  • C
    $\frac{40}{71}$
  • D
    $\frac{21}{71}$

$A$ computer producing factory has only two plants $T_1$ and $T_2$. Plant $T_1$ produces $20 \%$ and plant $T_2$ produces $80 \%$ of the total computers produced. $7 \%$ of computers produced in the factory turn out to be defective. It is known that $P(\text{defective} | T_1) = 10 P(\text{defective} | T_2)$. $A$ computer produced in the factory is randomly selected and it is not defective. Then the probability that it is produced in plant $T_2$ is
