Q23 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2016 (Paper 1) · Mathematics
A computer producing factory has only two plants and . Plant produces and plant produces of the total computers produced. of computers produced in the factory turn out to be defective. It is known that,
(computer turns out to be defective given that it is produced in plant )
(computer turns out to be defective given that it is produced in plant ).
Where, denotes the probability of an event A computer produced in the factory is randomly selected and it does not turn out to be defective. Then the probability that it is produced in plant is
A computer producing factory has only two plants and . Plant produces and plant produces of the total computers produced. of computers produced in the factory turn out to be defective. It is known that,
(computer turns out to be defective given that it is produced in plant )
(computer turns out to be defective given that it is produced in plant ).
Where, denotes the probability of an event A computer produced in the factory is randomly selected and it does not turn out to be defective. Then the probability that it is produced in plant is
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
Let, (where, represents defective units)
(given)
Probability of not defective, given that it is produced in plant
Now using Bayes' theorem
Probability of computer from given that it is not defective :
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
