Bag AAA contains 222 white, 111 black and 333 red balls and bag BBB contains 333 black, 222 red and nnn white balls. One bag is chosen at random and 222 balls drawn from it at random are found to be 111 red and 111 black. If the probability that both balls come from Bag AAA is 611\frac{6}{11}116​, then nnn is equal to _____

A candidate has to go to the examination centre to appear in an examination. The candidate uses only one means of transportation for the entire distance out of bus, scooter and car. The probabilities of the candidate going by bus, scooter and car, respectively, are $\dfrac{2}{5}$, $\dfrac{1}{5}$ and $\dfrac{2}{5}$. The probabilities that the candidate reaches late at the examination centre are $\dfrac{1}{5}$, $\dfrac{1}{3}$ and $\dfrac{1}{4}$ if the candidate uses bus, scooter and car, respectively. Given that the candidate reached late at the examination centre, the probability that the candidate travelled by bus is:
