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
$(A)$ $\frac{17}{23}$ $(B)$ $\frac{11}{23}$ $(C)$ $\frac{15}{23}$ $(D)$ $\frac{12}{23}$

Bag $A$ contains $2$ white and $3$ red balls and bag $B$ contains $4$ white and $5$ red balls. If one ball is drawn at random from one of the bags and is found to be red,then the probability that it was drawn from the bag $B$ is

In a test,a student either guesses,copies,or knows the answer to a multiple-choice question with four choices having one correct answer. The probability that he guesses the answer is $\frac{1}{3}$ and the probability that he copies it is $\frac{1}{12}$. The probability that his answer is correct given that he copied it is $\frac{1}{6}$. The probability that he knew the answer,given that he has correctly answered it,is
