(D) Case $I$: $A$ white ball is transferred from urn $A$ to urn $B$. Probability of selecting a white ball from $A$ is $P(W_1) = \frac{3}{3+5} = \frac{3}{8}$. After transferring,urn $B$ contains $7$ white and $8$ black balls. Probability of selecting a white ball from $B$ is $P(W_2|W_1) = \frac{7}{7+8} = \frac{7}{15}$. Probability of this case $= P(W_1) 	imes P(W_2|W_1) = \frac{3}{8} 	imes \frac{7}{15} = \frac{21}{120} = \frac{7}{40}$. Case $II$: $A$ black ball is transferred from urn $A$ to urn $B$. Probability of selecting a black ball from $A$ is $P(B_1) = \frac{5}{3+5} = \frac{5}{8}$. After transferring,urn $B$ contains $6$ white and $9$ black balls. Probability of selecting a white ball from $B$ is $P(W_2|B_1) = \frac{6}{6+9} = \frac{6}{15}$. Probability of this case $= P(B_1) 	imes P(W_2|B_1) = \frac{5}{8} 	imes \frac{6}{15} = \frac{30}{120} = \frac{10}{40}$. Total probability $= \frac{7}{40} + \frac{10}{40} = \frac{17}{40}$.

An urn $A$ contains $3$ white and $5$ black balls. Another urn $B$ contains $6$ white and $8$ black balls. $A$ ball is picked from $A$ at random and then transferred to $B$. Then,a ball is picked at random from $B$. The probability that it is a white ball is
