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

  • A
    $\frac{13}{36}$
  • B
    $\frac{15}{72}$
  • C
    $\frac{19}{72}$
  • D
    $\frac{19}{36}$

Let $U_1$ and $U_2$ be two urns such that $U_1$ contains $3$ white and $2$ red balls,and $U_2$ contains only $1$ white ball. $A$ fair coin is tossed. If head appears,then $1$ ball is drawn at random from $U_1$ and put into $U_2$. However,if tail appears,then $2$ balls are drawn at random from $U_1$ and put into $U_2$. Now $1$ ball is drawn at random from $U_2$.
$1.$ The probability of the drawn ball from $U_2$ being white is
$(A)$ $\frac{13}{30}$ $(B)$ $\frac{23}{30}$ $(C)$ $\frac{19}{30}$ $(D)$ $\frac{11}{30}$
$2.$ Given that the drawn ball from $U_2$ is white,the probability that head appeared on the coin is
$(A)$ $\frac{17}{23}$ $(B)$ $\frac{11}{23}$ $(C)$ $\frac{15}{23}$ $(D)$ $\frac{12}{23}$
