Conditional defectives from a random factory

Two factories F1F_1 and F2F_2 produce cricket bats that are labelled. Any randomly chosen bat produced by factory F1F_1 is defective with probability 0.50.5 and any randomly chosen bat produced by factory F2F_2 is defective with probability 0.10.1. One of the factories is chosen at random, and two bats are randomly purchased from the chosen factory. Let the labels on these purchased bats be B1B_1 and B2B_2. If B1B_1 is found to be defective, then the conditional probability that B2B_2 is also defective is equal to __________ (round off to 2 decimal places)
