An NGO organises a charity event in which they decide to distribute woollen caps to protect children from winter. The caps to be distributed are in three separate boxes, Box I has 30 red caps, Box II has 20 red and 10 green caps, and Box III has 30 green caps. The probability that a Box i is selected and a cap picked out is $\frac{i}{6}$, where $i = 1, 2, 3$. Based on the above information, answer the following questions : A person selects a cap. (i) What is the probability that he selects a red cap ? (ii) If he selects a green cap, what is the probability that the cap has come from Box II ?
