A letter is expected to come either from city 'SURAT' or from city 'RAMPUR' through post office. If on the way, envelope containing the letter is damaged and only two consecutive alphabets RA are visible on it, then the probability that letter comes from the city 'SURAT' is :
A letter is expected to come either from city 'SURAT' or from city 'RAMPUR' through post office. If on the way, envelope containing the letter is damaged and only two consecutive alphabets RA are visible on it, then the probability that letter comes from the city 'SURAT' is :
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
In SURAT (5 letters), 'RA' appears once in 4 consecutive pairs: P(RA|SURAT)=1/4. In RAMPUR (6 letters), 'RA' appears once in 5 pairs: P(RA|RAMPUR)=1/5. By Bayes with equal priors: .
