Let $${H_1},{H_2},....,{H_n}$$ be mutually exclusive and exhaustive events with $$P\left( {{H_1}} \right) > 0,i = 1,2,.....,n.$$ Let $$E$$ be any other event with $$0 < P\left( E \right) < 1.$$
STATEMENT-1:
$$P\left( {{H_1}|E} \right) > P\left( {E|{H_1}} \right).P\left( {{H_1}} \right)$$ for $$i=1,2,....,n$$ because

STATEMENT-2: $$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {P\left( {{H_i}} \right)} = 1.$$

A
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
B
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.
C
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
