A JEE aspirant estimates that he will be successful with an 80% chance if he studies 10 hr/day with 60% chance if he studies 7hr/day and with 40% chance if he studies 4 hr/day. Further, he believes that he will study 10 hr, 7hr and 4 hr/day with probability 0.1, 0.2 and 0.7 respectively. Given that he is successful, the probability that he studies for 4 hr/day equals.

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:p (10hr) = .1
p (7hr) = .2
p (4hr) = .7p (s / 10hr) = .8
p (s / 7hr) = .6
p (s / 4hr) = .4p (s) = .1 × .8 + .2 × .6 + .7 × .4
p (4hr / s) = (.7 × .4) / (.1 × .8 + .2 × .6 + .7 × .4) = 28 / (8 + 12 + 28) = 28 / 48 = 7 / 12
