Given that
A,B,C are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events
∴P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=1....(i)
Given
3P(B)=4P(A)⇒P(A)=43P(B) ....(ii)
and3P(C)=2P(B)⇒P(C)=32P(B).....(iii)
Put (ii) and (iii) in (i), we get
43P(B)+P(B)+32P(B)=1⇒129P(B)+12P(B)+8P(B)=1⇒1229P(B)=1⇒P(B)=2912
Put the value of
P(B) in (ii), we get
P(A)=43P(B)=43×2912=299
