1. Suppose there are 4 bags. Bag 1 contains 1 black and $$a^{2}$$ - 6a + 9 red balls, bag 2 contains 3 black and $$a^{2}$$  - 6a + 7 red balls, bag 3 contains 5 black and $$a^{2}$$  - 6a + 5 red balls and bag 4 contains 7 black and $$a^{2}$$  - 6a + 3 red balls. A ball is drawn at random from a randomly chosen bag. The maximum value of probability that the selected ball is black, is

    Let us take the value of $$a^2 - 6a + 3 = x$$.
    Thus, the number of red balls in bag 1 = x+6
    The number of red balls in bag 2 = x+4
    The number of red balls in bag 3 = x+2
    The number of red balls in bag 4 = x
    The total balls in Bag 1 = $$3+x+6 = x+9$$
    The total balls in Bag 2 = $$5+x+4 = x+9$$
    The total balls in Bag 3 = $$7+x+2 = x+9$$
    The total balls in Bag 4 = $$9+x = x+9$$
    Thus, the probability that the black is selected from each of the bags is as shown:-
    Bag 1 =$$dfrac{3}{x+9}$$
    Bag 2 =$$dfrac{5}{x+9}$$
    Bag 3 =$$dfrac{7}{x+9}$$
    Bag 4 =$$dfrac{9}{x+9}$$
    The total probability that a black ball will be selected =
    $$dfrac{1}{4}$$*($$dfrac{3}{x+9}$$+$$dfrac{5}{x+9}$$+$$dfrac{7}{x+9}$$+$$dfrac{9}{x+9}$$)
    = $$dfrac{4}{x+9}$$
    The maximum value will occur at $$x=0$$ and that will be $$dfrac{4}{9}$$
    Hence, option D is the correct answer.
