In an entrance test,there are multiple-choice questions. There are four possible answers to each question,of which one is correct. The probability that a student knows the answer to a question is $9/10$. If he gets the correct answer to a question,then the probability that he was guessing is:

$A$ bag contains $8$ balls,whose colors are either white or black. $4$ balls are drawn at random without replacement and it was found that $2$ balls are white and $2$ balls are black. The probability that the bag originally contained an equal number of white and black balls is:

Urn $A$ contains $6$ red and $4$ black balls and urn $B$ contains $4$ red and $6$ black balls. One ball is drawn at random from urn $A$ and placed in urn $B$. Then one ball is drawn at random from urn $B$ and placed in urn $A$. If one ball is now drawn at random from urn $A$,the probability that it is found to be red,is
