Three boxes $B_1$,$B_2$ and $B_3$ contain balls with different colors as follows:
Box White,Black,Red
$B_1$ $2, 1, 2$
$B_2$ $3, 2, 4$
$B_3$ $4, 3, 2$

$A$ die is thrown. Box $B_1$ is chosen if either $1$ or $2$ turns up. Box $B_2$ is chosen if $3$ or $4$ turns up and box $B_3$ is chosen if $5$ or $6$ turns up. Having chosen a box in this way,a ball is drawn at random from that box. If the ball drawn is found to be Red,then the probability that it is drawn from box $B_2$ is
