Event E1={drawn  twoballsfrombagIisbothareblack}

P(E1)=C2   4C2   7=27

Event E2={bothare  red}P(E2)=C2   3C2   7=17

Event E3={oneblack,onered}P(E3)=C1   3×C1   4C2   7=47

Let the event ={After transforming balls from I to II the drawn ball from II is red}

P(A/E1)=C1   4C1   10=25,  P(A/E2)=C1   6C1   10=35

P(A/E3)=5C110C1=12

P(E1/A)=P(E1)P(A/E1)P(E1)P(A/E1)+P(E2)P(A/E2)+P(E3)P(A/E3)                 =27(25)27(25)+17(35)+47(12)                 =44+3+10=417
