The probability that a plant \(A\) survives is \(\frac{3}{4}\) and the probability that another plant \(B\) survives is \(\frac{1}{3}\).
The probability that only one of them survives is :
- A \(\frac{1}{6}\)
- B \(\frac{1}{4}\)
- C \(\frac{1}{12}\)
- D \(\frac{7}{12}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac{7}{12}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(P(\text{only one survives}) = P(A)P(B') + P(A')P(B)\) \( = \frac{3}{4} \cdot (1 - \frac{1}{3}) + (1 - \frac{3}{4}) \cdot \frac{1}{3}\) \( = \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{3}\) \( = \frac{6}{12} + \frac{1}{12}\) \( = \frac{7}{12}\)

Certain types of leukocytes (WBC) of our body like polymorpho-nuclear leukocytes (PMNL-neutrophils) and monocytes and natural killer (type of lymphocytes) in the blood as well as macrophages in tissues can phagocytose and destroy microbes. For determining the cause of allergy, the patient is exposed to or injected with very small doses of possible allergens, and the reactions studied. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy. Heroin, commonly called smack is chemically diacetylmorphine which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. This is obtained by acetylation of morphine. Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. Different species of Plasmodium (P. vivax, P. malaria and P. falciparum) are responsible for different types of malaria. Of these, malignant malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is the most serious one and can even be fatal.
