A problem in mathematics is given to three students whose chances of solving it are \(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{4}\) respectively. The probability that the problem is solved is

  1. A \(\frac{3}{4}\)
  2. B 1
  3. C \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( P(\text{not solved}) = (1 - \frac{1}{2})(1 - \frac{1}{3})(1 - \frac{1}{4}) \) \( P(\text{not solved}) = (\frac{1}{2})(\frac{2}{3})(\frac{3}{4}) = \frac{1}{4} \) \( P(\text{solved}) = 1 - P(\text{not solved}) = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \)
