Let \(A\) and \(B\) be two events such that the probability that exactly one of them occurs is \(\frac{2}{5}\) and the probability that \(A\) or \(B\) occurs is \(\frac{1}{2}\) then the probability of both of them occur together is

  1. A \(0.02\)
  2. B \(0.01\)
  3. C \(0.20\)
  4. D \(0.10\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})-2 \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\frac{2}{5}\) \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})-\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\frac{1}{2}\) \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\frac{1}{10}\)
