If \(A\) and \(B\) are independent events such that \(P\left(A \cap B^{\prime}\right)=\frac{3}{25}\) and \(\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{A}^{\prime} \cap \mathrm{B}\right)=\frac{8}{25}\), then \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\)

  1. A \(\frac{3}{8}\)
  2. B \(\frac{4}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(A)P(B') = \frac{3}{25} \Rightarrow P(A)(1-P(B)) = \frac{3}{25}\) \(P(A')P(B) = \frac{8}{25} \Rightarrow (1-P(A))P(B) = \frac{8}{25}\)
