There are two boxes, each containing $10$ balls. In each box, some are black and the rest are white. $A$ ball is drawn at random from one of the boxes and it is found to be black. If the probability that the black ball drawn is from the second box is $\frac{1}{5}$, then the number of black balls in the first box is:

  • A
    $5$ or $10$
  • B
    $2$ or $7$
  • C
    $4$ or $8$
  • D
    $3$ or $6$ or $9$

Recent studies suggest that $12\%$ of the world population is left-handed. Depending on parents' hand usage, the chances of having left-handed children are as follows: $A$. Both parents are left-handed, chances of having left-handed children = $24\%$. $B$. Both parents are right-handed, chance of having left-handed children = $9\%$. $C$. Father left-handed and mother right-handed, chances of having left-handed children = $17\%$. $D$. Father right-handed and mother left-handed, chances of having left-handed children = $22\%$. Given $P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = P(D) = 1/4$ and $L$ denotes the event that the child is left-handed. What is the probability $P(A|L)$?
