Let A and B be two events such that P(A∪B)≥0.75and0.125≤P(A∩B)≤0.375\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B}) \geq 0.75 and 0.125 \leq \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}) \leq 0.375. What is the maximum value of P(A)+P(B)\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B}) ?

Options

  1. A0.75
  2. B1.125
  3. C1.375
  4. D1.625

Correct answer

B. 1.125

Step-by-step solution

Given : P(A∪B)≥0.75\quad \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B}) \geq 0.75 and 0.125≤P(A∩B)≤0.375P(A∩B)≤0.3750.125 \leq \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}) \leq 0.375\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}) \leq 0.375⇒P(A)+P(B)−P(A∪B)≤0.375⇒P(A)+P(B)≤0.375+P(A∪B)⇒P(A)+P(B)≤0.375+0.75⇒P(A)+P(B)≤1.125\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})-\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B}) \leq 0.375 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B}) \leq 0.375+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B}) \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B}) \leq 0.375+0.75 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B}) \leq 1.125\end{aligned}$MaximumvalueofMaximum value of\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=1.125$.
