If A and B are two events such that \(P(A) = 0.2, P(B) = 0.4\) and \(P(A \cup B) = 0.5\) then value of \(P(A/B)\) is:

  1. A 0.1
  2. B 0.5
  3. C 0.08
  4. D 0.25
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.25

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B)\) \(P(A \cap B) = 0.2 + 0.4 - 0.5 = 0.1\) \(P(A/B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}\) \(P(A/B) = \frac{0.1}{0.4} = 0.25\)
