The correct answer is: 518

Given,

In bag 13R, 4B & 3W

And in bag 22R, 5B & 2W

Let A: Drawn ball from bag II is black

And let B: Red ball transferred

Now by total probability theorem we have PA=39×510+49×610+39×510=5490

And PAB=39×510

So, by bayes theorem we have, PBA=PABPA

=39×51039×510+49×610+39×510

=1515+24+15=1554=518
