29. There are two urns, each contains a white balls and b black balls.
Balls are drawn one by one as follows:-
a) if any drawing results in a white ball, it will be returned to the
urn and
b)if the drawn ball is black then it will be replaced by a white ball
from another urn.
After n such operations a ball is chosen from urn1. Find the proba-
