One Indian and four American men and their wives are to be seated randomly around a circular table. Then the conditional probability that the Indian man is seated adjacent to his wife given that each American man is seated adjacent to his wife is
A.
$\frac{1}{2}$
B.
$\frac{1}{3}$
C.
$\frac{2}{5}$
D.
$\frac{1}{5}$
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Let E = event when each American man is seated adjacent to his wife and
A = event when Indian man is seated adjacent to his wife.
Now,
$n(A\cap E)=(4!)\times(2!)^5$
Event when each American man is seated adjacent to his wife.

A factory has a total of three manufacturing units, $M_1, M_2$, and $M_3$, which produce bulbs independent of each other. The units $M_1, M_2$, and $M_3$ produce bulbs in the proportions of $2: 2: 1$, respectively. It is known that $20 \%$ of the bulbs produced in the factory are defective.

$H_1$: The bulb is produced by unit $M_1$.
$H_2$: The bulb is produced by unit $M_2$.
$H_3$: The bulb is produced by unit $M_3$.
$E$: The bulb is defective.
