In a bag containing 3balls, a white ball was placed and then 1ball was taken out at random. What is the probability that the extracted ball would turn on to be white, if all possible hypothesis concerning the color of theballs that initiallyin the bag were equally possible ?
Select:	A) 2 / 3	B) 5 / 8	C) 3 / 5	D) 4 / 7	E) 5 / 8

Rationale: "since , all possible hypothesis regarding the colour of the balls are equally likely , therefore these could be 3 white balls , initially in the bag . ∴ required probability = 1 / 4 [ 1 + 3 / 4 + 1 / 2 + 1 / 4 ] = 1 / 4 [ ( 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 ) / 4 ] = 5 / 8 b"
Answer: B
