So look at it from the possible choices,
\n" ); document.write( "W1,W2- White ball chosen from Urn 1, White ball chosen from Urn 2
\n" ); document.write( "W1,R2
\n" ); document.write( "R1,W2
\n" ); document.write( "R1,R2
\n" ); document.write( "Look at the corresponding probabilities,
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%28W%5B1%5D%2CW%5B2%5D%29=%289%2F10%29%282%2F10%29=18%2F100\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%28W%5B1%5D%2CR%5B2%5D%29=%289%2F10%29%288%2F10%29=72%2F100\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%28R%5B1%5D%2CW%5B2%5D%29=%281%2F10%29%281%2F10%29=1%2F100\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%28R%5B1%5D%2CR%5B2%5D%29=%281%2F10%29%288%2F10%29=9%2F100\"
\n" ); document.write( "So there are two possibilities when the urn 2 ball is red, \"72%2F100\" times it occurs because the urn 1 ball was white and \"9%2F100\" times it occurs because the urn 2 ball was red. That makes a total of \"81%2F100\" times. \"%2872%2F100%29%2F%2881%2F100%29=72%2F81=8%2F9\" occur because of urn 1 ball is white, \"%289%2F100%29%2F%2881%2F100%29=9%2F81=1%2F9\" because the urn 1 ball is red.
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=1%2F9\"
