Baye's theorem
In a bolt factory, three machines A, B and C manufacture 25, 35 and 40 percent of the total bolts respectively. Out of the total bolts manufactured by the machines 5, 4 and 2 percent are defective from machine A, B and C respectively. A bolt drawn at random is found to be defective. Find the probability that it was manufactured by (i) Machine A or C (ii) Machine B.

Baye's theorem
A JEE aspirant estimates that she will be successful with an 80 percent chance if she studies 10 hours per day, with a 60 percent chance if she studies 7 hours per day and with 40 percent chance if she studies 4 hours per day. She further believes that she will study 10 hours, 7 hours, and 4 hours per day with probabilities 0.1, 0.2 and 0.7 respectively. Given that she does not achieve success, the chance she studied for 4 hour, is
A.$\dfrac{18}{26}$
B. $\dfrac{19}{26}$
C. $\dfrac{20}{26}$
D. $\dfrac{21}{26}$

Baye's theorem
There are two boxes $I$ and $II$ . Box $I$ contains 3 red and 6 black balls. Box $I$ contains 5 red and $'n'$ black balls. One of the two boxes, box $I$ and box $II$ is selected at random and a ball is drawn at random. The ball drawn is found to be red. If the probability that this red ball comes out from the box $II$ is $\dfrac{3}{5}$ ​, find the value of $'n'$ .
Mathematics
Baye's theorem
A factory production line is manufacturing bolts using three machines, A, B and C. Of the total output, machine A is responsible for $25\%$, machine B for $35\%$ and machine C for the rest. It is known from previous experience with the machines that $5\%$ of the output from machine A is defective, 4% from machine B and $2\%$ from machine C. A bolt is chosen at random from the production line and found to be defective. What is the probability that it came from machine A.
A.$0.632$
B.$0.362$
C.$0.487$
D.None of these
