Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be two events of a sample space such that \(P(X)=\frac{1}{3}, P(X / Y)=\frac{1}{2}\) and \(P(Y / X)=\frac{2}{5}\) then

  1. A \(P(X \cap Y)=\frac{1}{5}\)
  2. B \(P(X \cup Y)=\frac{2}{5}\)
  3. C \(P(Y)=\frac{1}{6}\)
  4. D \(\frac{5}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{5}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(P(X)=\frac{1}{3}, P(X / Y)=\frac{1}{2}\) and \(P(Y / X)=\frac{2}{5}\) Now, \(\quad P(Y / X)=\frac{2}{5}\)…
