Mathematics Question on Probability

Three urns A,BA, B and CC contain 44 red, 66 black; 55 red, 55 black; and λ\lambda red, 44 black balls respectively One of the urns is selected at random and a ball is drawn If the ball drawn is red and the probability that it is drawn from urn CC is 0.40.4 then the square of the length of the side of the largest equilateral triangle, inscribed in the parabola y2=λxy^2 = \lambda x with one vertex at the vertex of the parabola, is

Answer

The correct answer is 432

P(RC​)=P(A)P(AR​)+P(B)P(BR​)+P(C)P(CR​)P(C)P(CR​)​
0.4=31​×104​+31​×105​+31​(λ+4)λ​31​×(λ+4)λ​​
⇒λ=6

vertex of the parabola

tan30∘=3t=23​t2
3​1​=t2​
t=23​
(23​t2,3t)=(18,63​)
ℓ2=182+(63​)2
=324+108
=432
