The probability that a person goes to college by car is $\frac{1}{5}$,by bus is $\frac{2}{5}$,and by train is $\frac{3}{5}$. The probabilities that he reaches the college late if he takes a car,bus,or train are $\frac{2}{7}$,$\frac{4}{7}$,and $\frac{1}{7}$ respectively. If he reaches the college in time,the probability that he traveled by car is:

  • A
    $\frac{6}{29}$
  • B
    $\frac{24}{29}$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{29}$
  • D
    $\frac{23}{29}$

$A$ bag contains $(N+1)$ coins: $N$ fair coins, and one coin with 'Head' on both sides. $A$ coin is selected at random and tossed. If the probability of getting 'Head' is $\frac{9}{16}$, then $N$ is equal to:

The contents of $3$ boxes are as follows. If one box is chosen at random and three balls are drawn from it and they are all of different colours,find the probability that they come from Box $2$.
Box $1$ contains $1$ black,$2$ white,$3$ red balls.
Box $2$ contains $1$ black,$1$ white,$2$ red balls.
Box $3$ contains $5$ black,$4$ white,$1$ red balls.

$A$ bag $A$ contains $2$ white and $3$ red balls and bag $B$ contains $4$ white and $5$ red balls. One ball is drawn at random from a randomly chosen bag and is found to be red. The probability that it was drawn from bag $B$ is:

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
$(A)$ $\frac{17}{23}$ $(B)$ $\frac{11}{23}$ $(C)$ $\frac{15}{23}$ $(D)$ $\frac{12}{23}$
Give the answer for question $1$ and $2.$

$A, B, C$ are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events of a random experiment and $E$ is an event that occurs in conjunction with one of the events $A, B, C$. The conditional probabilities of $E$ given the happening of $A, B, C$ are respectively $0.6, 0.3$ and $0.1$. If $P(A)=0.30$ and $P(B)=0.50$,then $P(C \mid E)=$
