  1. A \(\frac{2}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M - V = 1\) \(M^2 - V^2 = 5\) \(M^2 - V^2 = (M - V)(M + V)\) \(5 = (1)(M + V) \implies M + V = 5\) \(2M = (M - V) + (M + V) = 1 + 5 = 6 \implies M = 3\) \(V = M - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2\) \(q = V/M = 2/3\) \(p = 1 - q = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3\)
