Bag A contains 3 white and 2 red balls. Bag B contains only 1 white ball. A fair coin is tossed. If head appears then 1 ball is drawn at random from bag A and put into bag B. However if tail appears then 2 balls are drawn at random from bag A and put into bag B. Now one ball is drawn at random from bag B. Given that the drawn ball from B is white, the probability that head appeared on the coin is
