A: runner succeeded exactly 3 times out of 5.
B: runner succeeds on the first trial.
P (B/A) = P (B ∩ A) / P (A) = (p (? C? p² (1−p)²) / (? C? p³ (1-p)²) = 3/5 = 0.6

Let P (B1) = a P (B2) = b P (B3) = c
Given a (1 – b) (1 – c) = a . (i)
b (1 – a) (1 – c) = b . (ii)
c (1 – b) (1 – a) =
(1 – a) (1 – b) (1 – c) = p . (iv)
->a – ab – 2b + 2ab = ab Þ a = 2b . (v)
Again
-> b – bc – 3c + 3bc = 2bc Þ b = 3c . (vi)

p (10hr) = .1
p (7hr) = .2
p (4hr) = .7
p (s / 10hr) = .8
p (s / 7hr) = .6
p (s / 4hr) = .4
p (s) = .1 * .8 + .2 * .6 + .7 * .4
p (4hr / s) = (.7 * .4) / (.1 * .8 + .2 * .6 + .7 * .4) = 28 / (8 + 12 + 28) = 28 / 48 = 7 / 12
