There are two groups of subjects one of which consists of 5 science subjects and 3 engineering subjects and the other consists of 3 science subjects and 5 engineering subjects. An unbiased die is cast. If the number 3 or 5 turns up, a subject from the first group is selected at random otherwise a subject is randomly selected from the second group. Find the probability that an engineering subject is selected ultimately.
