The chances to fail in Physics are 20%20 \% and the chances to fail in Mathematics are 10%.10 \% . What are the chances to fail in at least one subject?

Options

  1. A28%28 \%
  2. B38%38 \%
  3. C72%72 \%
  4. D82%82 \%

Correct answer

A. 28%28 \%

Step-by-step solution

Let P(A)=20100=15,P(B)=10100=110P(A)=\frac{20}{100}=\frac{1}{5}, P(B)=\frac{10}{100}=\frac{1}{10} Since, event are independent and we have to  find \text { find }P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A)\cdotP(B)=15+110−15⋅110=310−150=1450=1450×100=28%\begin{aligned}P(A&\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A) \cdotP(B) \\ &=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{10}\\ &=\frac{3}{10}-\frac{1}{50}=\frac{14}{50}=\frac{14}{50} \times100=28 \% \end{aligned}$
