He has option to choose any of the two options with equal probabilities.
If Amit choose yoga to reduce the chance of heart attack, then the chance of heart attack is:

  1. A \(\frac{28}{100}\)
  2. B \(\frac{20}{100}\)
  3. C \(\frac{30}{400}\)
  4. D \(\frac{135}{400}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{135}{400}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Chance of heart attack after yoga \(= 45\% - (45\% \times 25\%)\) \(= 0.45 - (0.45 \times 0.25)\) \(= 0.45 - 0.1125\) \(= 0.3375\) \(= \frac{3375}{10000}\) \(= \frac{135}{400}\)
