Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{18}{35}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{A}})=\frac{2}{7}=\mathrm{p} \) \( \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{V})=\frac{1}{5}=\mathrm{q} \) \( \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{5}{7} \) \( \text { Ans. } \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \overline{\mathrm{V}})=\frac{18}{35}\)
