Question
A hundred students appeared for two examinations. 60 passed the first, 50 passed the second, and 30 passed in both. Find the probability that students selected at random: passed in exactly one examination.
✓

Answer

Out of hundred students 1 student can be selected in ${ }^{100} \mathrm{C}_1=100$ ways.
$
\therefore \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})=100
$
Let $\mathrm{A}$ be the event that the student passed in the first examination.
Let $B$ be the event that student passed in second examination.
$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})=60, \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})=50 \text { and } \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=30 \\
& \therefore \quad \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{60}{100}=\frac{6}{10} \\
& \therefore \quad \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{50}{100}=\frac{5}{10} \\
& \\
& \therefore \quad \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}) \mathrm{B})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{30}{100}=\frac{3}{10} \\
&
\end{aligned}
$
$
\begin{aligned}: $\mathrm{P}$ (student passed in exactly one examination $)=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})-2 \cdot \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})$
$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{6}{10}+\frac{5}{10}-2\left(\frac{3}{10}\right) \\
& =\frac{1}{2}
\end{aligned}
$
