JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 13. probability

If  \(A\) and \(B\)  are any two events such that \(P\left( A \right)\, = \frac{2}{5}\) and \(P\left( {A \cap \,B} \right)\, = \frac{3}{{20}},\) then the conditional probability, \(P\left( {A\,|\,A'\, \cup \,B')} \right),\) where \(A'\) denotes the complement of \(A,\)  is equal to 

  1. A \(11/20\)
  2. B \(5/17\)
  3. C \(8/17\)
  4. D \(1/4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5/17\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(A)=\frac{2}{5}=\frac{8}{20} ; P(A \cap B)=\frac{3}{20}\) \(P(\overline{A \cap B})=1-\frac{3}{20}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad P(\bar{A} \cup \bar{B})=\frac{17}{20}\) \({A \cap\left(A^{\prime} \cup B^{\prime}\right)} \) \({=A-(A \cap B)} \) \(\therefore \)…
