JEE Advanced · Mathematics · 32. Probability
Let \(E\) and \(F\) be two independent events. The probability that exactly one of them occurs is \(11 / 25\) and the probability of none of them occurring is \(2 / 25\). If \(P(T)\) denotes the probability of occurrence of the event \(T\), then
- A
\(P(E)=\frac{4}{5}, P(F)=\frac{3}{5}\)
- B
\(P(E)=\frac{1}{5}, P(F)=\frac{2}{5}\)
- C
\(P(E)=\frac{2}{5}, P(F)=\frac{1}{5}\)
- D
\(P(E)=\frac{3}{5}, P(F)=\frac{4}{5}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D)
\(P(E)=\frac{3}{5}, P(F)=\frac{4}{5}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

\[
P(E \cup F)-P(E \cap F)=\frac{11}{25}
\]
(i.e. only \(E\) or only \(F\) )

Neither of them occurs \(=\frac{2}{25}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad P(\bar{E} \cap \bar{F})=\frac{2}{25}\)
From Eq. (i), we get
\[
P(E)+P(F)-2 P(E \cap F)=\frac{11}{25}
\]
From Eq. (ii), we get
\[
\begin{gathered}
(1-P(E))(1-P(F))=\frac{2}{25} \\
\Rightarrow 1-P(E)-P(F)+P(E) \cdot P(F)=\frac{2}{25}
\end{gathered}
\]
(iv)
From Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get
\[
\begin{aligned}
& P(E)+P(F)=\frac{7}{5} \text { and } P(E) \cdot P(F)=\frac{12}{25} \\
& \therefore \quad P(E) \cdot\left\{\frac{7}{5}-P(E)\right\}=\frac{12}{25}
\end{aligned}
\]
\[
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \quad(P(E))^2-\frac{7}{5} P(E)+\frac{12}{25}=0 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad\left(P(E)-\frac{3}{5}\right)\left(P(E)-\frac{4}{5}\right)=0 \\
& \therefore \quad P(E)=\frac{3}{4} \text { or } \frac{4}{5} \Rightarrow P(F)=\frac{4}{5} \text { or } \frac{3}{5}
\end{aligned}
\]
