In an experiment, $1000$ people receive Medicine $A$ and $1000$ different people receive
Medicine $B$. The $2000$ people are asked whether they have severe side effects, mild
side effects, or no side effects. The following information is obtained from the
experiment:
$(i)$ The probability that a random person has severe side effects is $\frac{3}{25}$.
$(ii)$ The probability that a random person with severe side effects was given Medicine $A$ is $\frac{2}{3}$.
$(iii)$ The probability that a random person who was given Medicine $A$ has severe or
mild side effects is $\frac{19}{100}$.
$(iv)$ The probability that a random person who was given Medicine $B$ has severe or mild side effects is $\frac{3}{20}$.
What is the probability that a random person with mild side effects was given
Medicine $B$?
