The probabilities of having a defective toy in three cartons $A, B, C$ are $\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{5}$ respectively. If a carton is selected at random and a toy drawn randomly from it is found to be defective,then the probability that it is drawn from carton $B$ is

  • A
    $\frac{15}{47}$
  • B
    $\frac{20}{47}$
  • C
    $\frac{20}{59}$
  • D
    $\frac{15}{59}$

$A$ 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:

$A$ factory has a total of three manufacturing units,$M_1, M_2$,and $M_3$,which produce bulbs independently. The units $M_1, M_2$,and $M_3$ produce bulbs in the proportions of $2: 2: 1$,respectively. It is known that $20\%$ of the bulbs produced in the factory are defective. It is also known that,of all the bulbs produced by $M_1, 15\%$ are defective. Suppose that,if a randomly chosen bulb produced in the factory is found to be defective,the probability that it was produced by $M_2$ is $\frac{2}{5}$. If a bulb is chosen randomly from the bulbs produced by $M_3$,then the probability that it is defective is $.....$ .
