$A$ shopkeeper buys a particular type of electric bulbs from three manufacturers $M_1, M_2$,and $M_3$. He buys $25 \%$ of his requirement from $M_1$,$45 \%$ from $M_2$,and $30 \%$ from $M_3$. Based on past experience,he found that $2 \%$ of type $M_3$ bulbs are defective,whereas only $1 \%$ of type $M_1$ and type $M_2$ bulbs are defective. If a bulb chosen by him at random is defective,then the probability that it was of type $M_3$ is

Assume that the probability of a patient having a heart attack is $40 \%$. It is also assumed that a meditation and yoga course reduces the risk of a heart attack by $30 \%$ and the prescription of a certain drug reduces its risk by $25 \%$. $A$ patient can choose any one of the two options with equal probability. Given that a patient selected at random suffers a heart attack after choosing one of the two options,find the probability that the patient followed the course of meditation and yoga.

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

Suppose that a bag $A$ contains $n$ red and $2$ black balls and another bag $B$ contains $2$ red and $n$ black balls. One of the two bags is selected at random and two balls are drawn from it at a time. When it is known that the two balls drawn are red,if the probability that those two balls drawn are from bag $A$ is $\frac{6}{7}$,then $n=$
