If AA and BB are two events such that P(A∩B)=0.1P(A \cap B)=0.1, and P(A∣B)P(A \mid B) and P(B∣A)P(B \mid A) are the roots of the equation 12x2−7x+1=012 x^2-7 x+1=0, then the value of P(A‾∪B‾)P(A‾∩B‾)\frac{\mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{A}} \cup \overline{\mathrm{B}})}{\mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{A}} \cap \overline{\mathrm{B}})} is :

Options

  1. A43\frac{4}{3}
  2. B74\frac{7}{4}
  3. C53\frac{5}{3}
  4. D94\frac{9}{4}

Correct answer

D. 94\frac{9}{4}

Step-by-step solution

P(A∩B)=0.1,P(A∣B)P(A \cap B)=0.1, P(A \mid B) and P(B∣A)P(B \mid A) are the roots of the equation 12x2−7x+1=012 x^2-7 x+1=0⇒P(A∣B)P(B∣A)=112⇒P(A∩B)P(B)×P(A∩B)P(A)=112⇒P(A)P(B)=12(0.1)2=0.12\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad P(A \mid B) P(B \mid A)=\frac{1}{12} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \times \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}=\frac{1}{12} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad P(A) P(B)=12(0.1)^2 \\ & =0.12 \end{aligned}Also, $P(A \mid B)+P(B \mid A)=\frac{7}{12}\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & P(A \cap B)\left(\frac{1}{P(B)}+\frac{1}{P(A)}\right)=\frac{7}{12} \\ \Rightarrow & P(A)+P(B)=\frac{7}{12} \times \frac{0.12}{0.1} \\ \Rightarrow & P(A)+P(B)=0.7 \\ & \frac{P(\bar{A} \cup \bar{B})}{P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B})}=\frac{P(\overline{A \cap B})}{P(\overline{A U B})} \\ & =\frac{1-P(A \cap B)}{1-P(A \cup B)} \\ & =\frac{1-0.1}{1-(0.7-0.1)}=\frac{0.9}{0.4}=\frac{9}{4} \end{aligned}$$$
