{\text{Let E}} \to {\text{Event of head showing up}} \\
{\text{Let }}{{\text{E}}_1} \to {\text{Event of biased coin chosen}} \\
{\text{Let }}{{\text{E}}_2} \to {\text{Event of unbiased coin chosen}} \\
{\text{Now as we know that }}P(x){\text{ is the probability of occurrence of x}}{\text{.}} \\
{\text{As the probability of occurrence of }}{E_1}{\text{ and }}{E_2}{\text{ is same so,}} \\
\Rightarrow {\text{Now, }}P({E_2}) = \dfrac{1}{2}{\text{ and }}P({E_1}) = \dfrac{1}{2} \\
{\text{So, by conditional probability we know that }}P\left( {\dfrac{x}{y}} \right){\text{ is the probability of occurrence of x if }} \\
{\text{it is known that y has already occured}} \\
{\text{So as given in question,}} \\
\Rightarrow P\left( {\dfrac{E}{{{E_2}}}} \right) = \dfrac{1}{2}{\text{ and }}P\left( {\dfrac{E}{{{E_1}}}} \right) = \dfrac{3}{4}{\text{ }} \\
{\text{So, now we have to find the probability that coin selected is unbiased if it is known }} \\
{\text{that the coin we get is head showing up}}{\text{.}} \\
{\text{And this is equal to }}P\left( {\dfrac{{{E_2}}}{E}} \right) \\
{\text{So, now by using Baye's theorem}} \\
\Rightarrow {\text{ }}P\left( {\dfrac{{{E_2}}}{E}} \right) = \dfrac{{P({E_2})*P\left( {\dfrac{E}{{{E_2}}}} \right)}}{{P({E_2})*P\left( {\dfrac{E}{{{E_2}}}} \right) + P({E_1})*P\left( {\dfrac{E}{{{E_1}}}} \right)}}{\text{ }}\left( 1 \right) \\
{\text{Putting all values on equation 1 we get,}} \\
\Rightarrow {\text{ }}P\left( {\dfrac{{{E_2}}}{E}} \right) = \dfrac{{\dfrac{1}{2}*\dfrac{1}{2}}}{{\dfrac{1}{2}*\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{1}{2}*\dfrac{3}{4}}}{\text{ = }}\dfrac{{\dfrac{1}{4}}}{{\dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{3}{8}}}{\text{ = }}\dfrac{{\dfrac{1}{4}}}{{\dfrac{5}{8}}}{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}\dfrac{2}{5} \\
{\text{So, probability that coin selected is unbiased if it is known that the coin we get is }} \\
{\text{head showing up = }}P\left( {\dfrac{{{E_2}}}{E}} \right) = \dfrac{2}{5} \\
{\text{Hence correct option is D}} \\
{\text{NOTE: - Whenever you came up with this type of problem then you have to apply Baye's}} \\
{\text{theorem}}{\text{. So, you should always remember Baye's theorem}}{\text{.}} \\
