$A$ student answers a multiple choice question with $5$ alternatives, of which exactly $1$ is correct. The probability that he knows the correct answer is $p$, where $0 < p < 1$. If he does not know the correct answer, he randomly ticks $1$ answer. Given that he has answered the question correctly, the probability that he did not tick the answer randomly is:

  • A
    $\frac{3 p}{4 p + 3}$
  • B
    $\frac{5 p}{3 p + 2}$
  • C
    $\frac{5 p}{4 p + 1}$
  • D
    $\frac{4 p}{3 p + 1}$

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 $U_2$.

Meera visits only one of the two temples $A$ and $B$ in her locality. The probability that she visits temple $A$ is $\frac{2}{5}$. If she visits temple $A$,the probability that she meets her friend is $\frac{1}{3}$,whereas it is $\frac{2}{7}$ if she visits temple $B$. Meera met her friend at one of the two temples. The probability that she met her at temple $B$ is

Suppose we have four boxes $A, B, C$ and $D$ containing coloured marbles as given below:
Box Red White Black
$A$ $1$ $6$ $3$
$B$ $6$ $2$ $2$
$C$ $8$ $1$ $1$
$D$ $0$ $6$ $4$

One of the boxes has been selected at random and a single marble is drawn from it. If the marble is red,what is the probability that it was drawn from box $A$,box $B$,or box $C$?
