If A, B, C are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events of a sample space \(S\) such that \(P(B)=\frac{3}{2} P(A)\) and \(P(C)=\frac{1}{2} P(B)\), then \(P(A)=\)
- A \(\frac{4}{13}\)
- B \(\frac{6}{13}\)
- C \(\frac{8}{13}\)
- D \(\frac{3}{13}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{4}{13}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(P(A) + P(B) + P(C) = 1\) \(P(C) = \frac{1}{2} P(B) = \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{3}{2} P(A)\right) = \frac{3}{4} P(A)\)
