Consider three sets E1={1,2,3},F1={1,3,4} and G1={2,3,4,5}. Two elements are chosen at random, without replacement, from the set E1, and let S1 denote the set of these chosen elements. Let E2=E1-S1 and F2=F1S1. Now two elements are chosen at random, without replacement, from the set F2 and let S2 denote the set of these chosen elements. Let G2=G1S2. Finally, two elements are chosen at random, without replacement, from the set G2 and let S3 denote the set of these chosen elements.
Let E3=E2S3. Given that E1=E3, let p be the conditional probability of the event S1={1,2}. Then the value of p is

  1. A 15
  2. B 35
  3. C 12
  4. D 25
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 15

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We need to find p, the conditional probability of the event S1={1,2}, given E1=E3. So, p=PS1E1=E3PE1=E3=PB1,2P(B)
