Let \(A\) and \(B\) be two events with \(P(A)=\frac{1}{7}\), \(P\left(\frac{A}{B}\right)=\frac{2}{3}\) and \(P(B)=\frac{2}{7}\). Then, the value \(P\left(\frac{B}{A}\right)\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{5}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{49}\)
  3. C \(\frac{4}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{4}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} P(B / A) & =\frac{P(A / B) P(B)}{P(A)} \\ & =\frac{(2 / 5)(2 / 7)}{(1 / 7)}=\frac{4}{5}\end{aligned}\)
