$A$ bag contains $2n+1$ coins. It is known that $n$ of these coins have a head on both sides, whereas the remaining $n+1$ coins are fair. $A$ coin is picked up at random from the bag and tossed. If the probability that the toss results in a head is $\frac{31}{42}$, then $n$ is equal to

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $11$
  • C
    $12$
  • D
    $13$

$A$ bag contains $(N+1)$ coins: $N$ fair coins, and one coin with 'Head' on both sides. $A$ coin is selected at random and tossed. If the probability of getting 'Head' is $\frac{9}{16}$, then $N$ is equal to:

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 head,$1$ ball is drawn at random from $U_1$ and transferred to $U_2$. If it shows tail,$2$ 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 head?
