Detailed Solution

$P (E_{1}) = m \Rightarrow P (E_{1}^{1}) = 1 - m$
$P (E_{1}^{1} \cap E_{2}) = P (E_{1}^{1}) \cdot P (E_{2}) = \frac{2}{15}$
$\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow (1 - m) P (E_{2}) = \frac{2}{15} \Rightarrow P (E_{2}) = \frac{2}{15 (1 - m)} \\ and P (E_{1} \cap E_{2}^{1}) = \frac{1}{6} \Rightarrow P (E_{1}) \cdot P (E_{2}^{1}) = \frac{1}{6} \\ \Rightarrow m (1 - \frac{2}{15 (1 - m)}) = \frac{1}{6} \\ \Rightarrow 6 m [15 (1 - m) - 2] = 15 (1 - m) \\ \Rightarrow 2 m (13 - 15 m) = 5 - 5 m \\ \Rightarrow 30 m^{2} - 31 m + 5 = 0 \\ \Rightarrow m = \frac{5}{6} or \frac{1}{5} \\ ∴ P (E_{1}) = \frac{5}{6} or \frac{1}{5} . \end{array}$
