If \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) are two events in a random experiment such that \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=2 \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})\) then

  1. A \(P(A)+P(B)=1\)
  2. B \(P(A)=P(B)\)
  3. C \(P(A)+P(B)>1\)
  4. D \(P(A)=0, P(B)=1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(P(A)=P(B)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(A)+P(B)=2 P(A \cap B)\) \(\therefore \quad P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B)=P(A \cap B)\) But we know that \(\begin{aligned} & P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B)=P(A \cup B) \\ & \therefore \quad P(A \cup B)=P(A \cap B) \\ & \Rightarrow \quad P(A)=P(B) . \end{aligned}\)
