In a bolt factory, machines A,B and C manufacture respectively 20%, 30% and  50% of the total bolts. Of their output 3, 4 and 2 percent are respectively defective bolts. A bolt is drawn at random from the product. If the bolt drawn is found the defective then the probability that it is manufactured by the machine C is 
  1. 514
  2. 928
  3. 37
  4. 27

Solution

Let XEvent that product is defective, then

PXA=3100PXB=4100PXC=2100

Now,

PCX=PCPXCPAPXA+PBPXB+PCPXC

PCX=50100×210020100×3100+30100×4100+50100×2100

PCX=10060+120+100

PCX=514

Hence this is the correct option.
