Let n 1 &#160; a n d &#160; n 2 be the number of red and black balls, respectively, in box I. Let n 3 a n d &#160; n 4 be the number of red and black balls, respectively, in box II. One of the two boxes, box I and box II, was selected at random and a ball was drawn randomly out of this box. The balls was found to be red. If the probability that this red ball was drawn from box II is 1 3 , then the correct option(s) with the possible values of n 1 , &#160; n 2 , &#160; n 3 a n d &#160; n 4 is(are)
