Options:

7
A.

8
B. 15

4
C. 19

8
D. 19

Answer: B
Solution:

Solution:

Let E1, E2 and A be the events defined as follows:

E1 = red ball is transferred from bag P to bag Q
E2 = blue ball is transferred from bag P to bag Q
A = the ball drawn from bag Q is blue
As the bag P contains 6 red and 4 blue balls,

Note that E1 and E2 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events.

When E1 has occurred i.e., a red ball has already been transferred from bag P to Q, then bag Q will contain 6 red and 6
blue balls, So, P(A ∣ E1) = 6/12 = 1/2

When E2 has occurred i.e., a blue ball has already been transferred from bag P to Q, then bag Q will contain 5 red and 7
blue balls, So, P(A ∣ E2) = 7/12

By using law of total probability, we get
