\(\mathrm{A}\) student appears for tests 1 , 11 and \(\mathrm{III}\). The student is successful if he passes in tests I,II or I, III. The probabilities of the student passing in tests I. II and III are respectively,
p,q and \(1 / 2 .\) If the probability of the student to be successful is \(1 / 2 .\) Then

  1. A \(p(1+q)=1\)
  2. B \(q(1+p)=1\)
  3. C \(p q=1\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(p(1+q)=1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(X\) be the event that student will be successful. \(X_{1}\) be the event that student will be pass in test-I. \(X_{2}\) be the event that student will be pass in test-II. \(X_{3}\) be the event that student will be pass in test-III.…
