There are n urns, each of these contain n + 1 balls. The ith urn contains i white balls and (n + 1 – i) red balls. Let ui be the event of selecting ith urn, i = 1, 2, 3 .........., n and w the event of getting a white ball.
Q. If P(ui) ∝ i, where i = 1, 2, 3,......., n, then 
P(w) =(2006 - 5M, –2)
P(w) =(2006 - 5M, –2)

Q. Let P(ui) =
, if n is even and E denotes the event of choosing even numbered urn, then the value of P(w / E) is (2006 - 5M, –2)
, if n is even and E denotes the event of choosing even numbered urn, then the value of P(w / E) is (2006 - 5M, –2)
(n being even)

Let U1 and U2 be two urns such that U1 contains 3 white and 2 red balls, and U2 contains only 1 white ball. A fair coin is tossed. If head appears then 1 ball is drawn at random from U1 and put into U2.
However, if tail appears then 2 balls are drawn at random from U1 and put into U2 . Now 1 ball is drawn at random from U2. (2011)
Q. The probability of the drawn ball from U2 being white is
