\(\mathrm{P}, \mathrm{Q}\) and R try to hit the same target one after the other. If their probabilities of hitting the target are \(\frac{2}{3}, \frac{3}{5}, \frac{5}{7}\) respectively, then the probability that the target is hit by P or Q but not by R is

  1. A \(\frac{26}{105}\)
  2. B \(\frac{79}{105}\)
  3. C \(0\)
  4. D \(\frac{75}{105}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{26}{105}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(P=\) The event that \(P\) hit target \(\mathrm{Q}=\) The event that Q hit target \(\mathrm{R}=\) The event that R hit target \(\because \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{P})=\frac{2}{3}, \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{Q})=\frac{3}{5}\) and \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{R})=\frac{5}{7}\) Now, required…
