Move 31 balls from red ball box to other box having 31 green balls.

now one box has one red ball

probability of choosing one(red) box is 1/2.
Move 31 balls from red ball box to other box having 31 green balls.

now one box has one red ball and other box is having 31 red balls and 31 green balls.

then prob of getting red ball = (1/2)+(1/2)*(31/62) = 1/2 + 1/4 =3/4
