Two persons $P$ and $Q$ are considering applying for a job. The probability that $P$ applies for the job is $1/4$,the probability that $P$ applies for the job given that $Q$ applies for the job is $1/2$,and the probability that $Q$ applies for the job given that $P$ applies for the job is $1/3$. Then the probability that $P$ does not apply for the job given that $Q$ does not apply for the job is

  • A
    $4/5$
  • B
    $5/6$
  • C
    $7/8$
  • D

Suppose that Box-$I$ contains $8$ red,$3$ blue and $5$ green balls,Box-$II$ contains $24$ red,$9$ blue and $15$ green balls,Box-$III$ contains $1$ blue,$12$ green and $3$ yellow balls,and Box-$IV$ contains $10$ green,$16$ orange and $6$ white balls. $A$ ball is chosen randomly from Box-$I$; call this ball $b$. If $b$ is red,then a ball is chosen randomly from Box-$II$; if $b$ is blue,then a ball is chosen randomly from Box-$III$; and if $b$ is green,then a ball is chosen randomly from Box-$IV$. The conditional probability of the event 'one of the chosen balls is white' given that the event 'at least one of the chosen balls is green' has happened,is equal to:
