In a battery manufacturing factory, machines P,Q and R manufacture \(20 \%, 30 \%\) and \(50 \%\) respectively of the total output. The chances that a defective battery is produced by these machines are \(1 \%, 1.5 \%\) and \(2 \%\) respectively. If a battery is selected as random from production, then the probability that it is defective is

  1. A \(\frac{69}{2000}\)
  2. B \(\frac{33}{2000}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{40}\)
  4. D \(\frac{29}{2000}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{33}{2000}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(E_1\) be an event that the battery is produced by machine \(\mathrm{P}\) \(E_2\) be an event that the battery is produced by machine Q. \(E_3\) be an event that the battery is produced by machine R. and \(\mathrm{A}\) be an event that the battery is defective. Now,…
