JEE Main2002MathematicsProbabilityActual
A and B are events such that P(A B)=3 / 4, P(A B)=1 / 4, P( A )=2 / 3 then P( A B) is
Options
- A5/12
- B3/8
- C5/8
- D1/4
Correct answer
A. 5/12
Step-by-step solution
P(A B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A B) 3 4 =1-P( A )+P(B)- 1 4 1=1- 2 3 +P(B) P(B)= 2 3 ; Now, P( A B)=P(B)-P(A B)= 2 3 - 1 4 = 5 12
