Person \(A\) can solve \(90 \%\) of the problems given in the book and Person \(B\) can solve \(70 \%\). Then, the probability that atleast one of them will solve the proplem selected at random from the book is

  1. A \(0.16\)
  2. B \(0.69\)
  3. C \(0.97\)
  4. D \(0.20\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.97\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Event \(A \Rightarrow A\) solves the problem. Event \(B \Rightarrow B\) solves the problem. \[ \begin{aligned} \mathrm{P}(\text { success }) & =1-P(\bar{A}) \cdot P(\bar{B}) \\ & =1-\frac{10}{100} \times \frac{30}{100} \\ & =1-\frac{3}{100}=\frac{97}{100}=0.97 \end{aligned} \]
