Given three identical boxes $I$,$II$ and $III$,each containing two coins. In box $I$,both coins are gold coins,in box $II$,both are silver coins and in the box $III$,there is one gold and one silver coin. $A$ person chooses a box at random and takes out a coin. If the coin is of gold,what is the probability that the other coin in the box is also of gold?

In a bolt factory,machines $A, B$ and $C$ manufacture respectively $20 \%$,$30 \%$ and $50 \%$ of the total bolts. Of their output,$3 \%$,$4 \%$ and $2 \%$ are respectively defective bolts. $A$ bolt is drawn at random from the product. If the bolt drawn is found to be defective,then the probability that it is manufactured by the machine $C$ is

In a test,a student either guesses,copies,or knows the answer to a multiple-choice question with four choices. The probability that he guesses is $1/3$ and the probability that he copies the answer is $1/6$. The probability that his answer is correct,given that he copied it,is $1/8$. The probability that he knew the answer to the question,given that he answered it correctly,is

On every evening,a student either watches $TV$ or reads a book. The probability of watching $TV$ is $\frac{4}{5}$. If he watches $TV$,the probability that he will fall asleep is $\frac{3}{4}$ and it is $\frac{1}{4}$ when he reads a book. If the student is found to be asleep on an evening,the probability that he watched the $TV$ 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 it shows heads,$1$ ball is drawn at random from $U_1$ and transferred to $U_2$. If it shows tails,$2$ balls are drawn at random from $U_1$ and transferred to $U_2$. Now,$1$ ball is drawn at random from $U_2$. Given that the ball drawn from $U_2$ is white,what is the probability that the coin showed heads (in $/23$)?

Given three identical bags each containing $10$ balls,whose colours are as follows:
RedBlueGreen
Bag $I$$3$$2$$5$
Bag $II$$4$$3$$3$
Bag $III$$5$$1$$4$

$A$ person chooses a bag at random and takes out a ball. If the ball is Red,the probability that it is from bag $I$ is $p$,and if the ball is Green,the probability that it is from bag $III$ is $q$,then the value of $\left(\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}\right)$ is:
