A problem in Mathematics is given to two students \(X\) and \(Y\) whose chances of solving it are \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{1}{4}\) respectively. The probability that only \(X\) solves the problem, is:
- A \(\frac{1}{3}\)
- B \(\frac{1}{12}\)
- C \(\frac{1}{4}\)
- D \(\frac{7}{12}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(P(X) = \frac{1}{3}\) \(P(Y') = 1 - P(Y) = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}\) \(P(\text{only } X) = P(X) \times P(Y') = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}\)

The term vitamin was coined from the word vital +amine since the earlier identified compounds had amino groups. Later work showed that most of them didn't contain amino groups. They are very essential for the body. They has to be taken various diet or in the form of medicines also.
Vitamins are classified into two groups depending upon their solubility in water or fat.
Fat soluble vitamins are soluble in fat and oils but insoluble in water. They are stored in liver and adipose (fat storing) tissues Water-soluble vitamins are soluble in water. These must be supplied regularly in diet because they are readily excreated in urine and cannot be stored in our body.
