Answer: b) 6.10%

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the probability for the other bag to contain exactly 4 balls at that time;  

is only possible if you have chosen a particular bag 10 times and other bag 6 times.

After that, once again at the 17th attempt

so the required probability =     ¹⁶c₁₀ × (1/2¹⁰ × (1/2)⁶ × (1/2)

= 0.610

CONVERT TO PERCENT

0.610 × 100

= 6.10%
