In a test, a student either guesses, copies, or knows the answer to a multiple-choice question with four choices having one correct answer. The probability that he guesses the answer is $\frac{1}{3}$ and the probability that he copies it is $\frac{1}{12}$. The probability that his answer is correct given that he copied it is $\frac{1}{6}$. The probability that he knew the answer, given that he has correctly answered it, is

  • A
    $\frac{6}{7}$
  • B
    $\frac{15}{49}$
  • C
    $\frac{7}{12}$
  • D
    $\frac{10}{13}$

Three companies $C_1, C_2, C_3$ produce car tyres. $A$ car manufacturing company buys $40 \%$ of its requirement from $C_1, 35 \%$ from $C_2$ and $25 \%$ from $C_3$. The company knows that $2 \%$ of the tyres supplied by $C_1, 3 \%$ by $C_2$ and $4 \%$ by $C_3$ are defective. If a tyre chosen at random from the consignment received is found defective, then the probability that it was supplied by $C_2$ is:

$A$ student appears for a quiz consisting of only true-false type questions and answers all the questions. The student knows the answers of some questions and guesses the answers for the remaining questions. Whenever the student knows the answer of a question,he gives the correct answer. Assume that the probability of the student giving the correct answer for a question,given that he has guessed it,is $\frac{1}{2}$. Also assume that the probability of the answer for a question being guessed,given that the student's answer is correct,is $\frac{1}{6}$. Then the probability that the student knows the answer of a randomly chosen question is
