  1. A 0.87
  2. B 0.85
  3. C 0.63
  4. D 0.97
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.97

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(A) = 0.90\) \(P(B) = 0.70\) \(P(\text{not solved}) = P(A') \cdot P(B') = (1 - 0.90) \cdot (1 - 0.70)\) \(P(\text{not solved}) = 0.10 \cdot 0.30 = 0.03\) \(P(\text{solved}) = 1 - P(\text{not solved}) = 1 - 0.03\) \(P(\text{solved}) = 0.97\)
