As we are allowed to move the balls, we keep only one red ball in first box and move all the remaining balls to the second box
So fist box contains 1 redball, second box contains 38 red + 26 green = 64 balls
Probability of choosing any box is 1/ 2.
So probability of taking one red ball = 12×(1)+12(3864)≃0.8
