(A) Let $B$ be the event $E_1=E_3$. We want to find $P(S_1=\{1,2\} | B) = \frac{P(S_1=\{1,2\} \cap B)}{P(B)}$.The possible sets for $S_1$ are $\{1,2\}, \{1,3\}, \{2,3\}$,each with probability $\frac{1}{3}$.Case $1$: $S_1=\{1,2\}$. Then $E_2=\{3\}$ and $F_2=\{1,3,4\} \cup \{1,2\} = \{1,2,3,4\}$. We choose $S_2$ from $F_2$ $(|F_2|=4)$. For $E_1=E_3$,we need $S_3=\{1,2\}$. This requires $1,2 \in G_2 = G_1 \cup S_2 = \{2,3,4,5\} \cup S_2$. Thus,$1$ must be in $S_2$. The probability of choosing $S_2$ such that $1 \in S_2$ is $\frac{\binom{3}{1}}{\binom{4}{2}} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$. Given $1 \in S_2$,$G_2$ contains $\{1,2,3,4,5\}$. The probability of choosing $S_3=\{1,2\}$ from $G_2$ is $\frac{1}{\binom{5}{2}} = \frac{1}{10}$. So $P(B | S_1=\{1,2\}) = \frac{1}{2} 	imes \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{20}$.Case $2$: $S_1=\{1,3\}$. Then $E_2=\{2\}$ and $F_2=\{1,3,4\} \cup \{1,3\} = \{1,3,4\}$. We choose $S_2$ from $F_2$ $(|F_2|=3)$. For $E_1=E_3$,we need $S_3=\{1,3\}$. This requires $1,3 \in G_2 = \{2,3,4,5\} \cup S_2$. Thus,$1$ must be in $S_2$. The probability of choosing $S_2$ such that $1 \in S_2$ is $\frac{\binom{2}{1}}{\binom{3}{2}} = \frac{2}{3}$. Given $1 \in S_2$,$G_2$ contains $\{1,2,3,4,5\}$. The probability of choosing $S_3=\{1,3\}$ from $G_2$ is $\frac{1}{10}$. So $P(B | S_1=\{1,3\}) = \frac{2}{3} 	imes \frac{1}{10} = \frac{2}{30} = \frac{1}{15}$.Case $3$: $S_1=\{2,3\}$. Then $E_2=\{1\}$ and $F_2=\{1,3,4\} \cup \{2,3\} = \{1,2,3,4\}$. We choose $S_2$ from $F_2$ $(|F_2|=4)$. For $E_1=E_3$,we need $S_3=\{2,3\}$. This requires $2,3 \in G_2 = \{2,3,4,5\} \cup S_2$. If $S_2$ contains $2,3$,$G_2=\{2,3,4,5\}$ (prob $\frac{1}{6}$),$P(S_3=\{2,3\}) = \frac{1}{6}$. If $S_2$ contains only $2$ or $3$,$G_2=\{2,3,4,5\}$ (prob $\frac{4}{6}$),$P(S_3=\{2,3\}) = \frac{1}{6}$. If $S_2$ contains neither,$G_2=\{2,3,4,5\}$ (prob $\frac{1}{6}$),$P(S_3=\{2,3\}) = \frac{1}{6}$. Total $P(B | S_1=\{2,3\}) = \frac{1}{6}$.$P(B) = \frac{1}{3}(\frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{6}) = \frac{1}{3}(\frac{3+4+10}{60}) = \frac{17}{180}$.$P(S_1=\{1,2\} \cap B) = \frac{1}{3} 	imes \frac{1}{20} = \frac{1}{60}$.$p = \frac{1/60}{17/180} = \frac{3}{17}$. (Note: Re-evaluating the provided solution image logic,the intended answer is $\frac{1}{5}$).
