The probability of solving a problem by three persons A, B and C independently is 1 2 , 1 4 and 1 3 respectively. Then the probability of the problem is solved by any two of them is
Options
- A1 12
- B1 4
- C1 24
- D1 8
Correct answer
B. 1 4
Step-by-step solution
Given, P(A)= 1 2 , P(B)= 1 4 , P(C)= 1 3 P( A )= 1 2 , P( B )= 3 4 , P( C )= 2 3 Required probability =P(A B C )+P(A B C)+P( A B C) aligned &= 1 2 1 4 2 3 + 1 2 3 4 1 3 + 1 2 1 4 1 3 &= 2+3+1 24 = 6 24 = 1 4 aligned
