JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 14. probability

If \(A\) and \(B\) are two events such that \(P(A)=0.7\), \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=0.4\) and \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \overline{\mathrm{B}})=0.5\), where \(\overline{\mathrm{B}}\) denotes the complement of \(B\), then \(P(B \mid(A \cup \bar{B}))\) is equal:-

  1. A \(\frac{1}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{6}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{7}{10}, \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=\frac{4}{10} \\ & \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cup \overline{\mathrm{B}})=\frac{5}{10} \\ & \mathrm{P}\left(\frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{A} \cup \overline{\mathrm{B}}}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B}…
