Options
- A7 16
- B5 16
- C3 16
- D9 16
Correct answer
D. 9 16
Step-by-step solution
aligned & P ( A )= 2 5 ~F : The events of meera meets her friend. & P ( F / A )= 1 3 & P ( F / B )= 2 7 & P ( B )=1- P ( A ) & =1- 2 5 & = 3 5 aligned The probability she meet her at temple B aligned & P(B / F)= P(F B) P(F) & = P(B) P(B / F) P(A) P(F / A)+P(B) P(B / F) & = 3 / 5 2 / 7 (2 / 5 1 / 3)+(3 / 5 5 / 7) = 9 16 aligned
