Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
In a college, 30% students fail in physics, 25% fail in mathematics and 10% fail in both. One student is chosen at random. The probability that she fails in physics if she has failed in mathematics is:
A$\frac{1}{10}$
B$\frac{2}{5}$
C$\frac{9}{20}$
D$\frac{1}{3}$

B$\frac{2}{5}$
Here, $\text{P}_{(\text{Ph})}=\frac{30}{100}=\frac{3}{10}$
$\text{P}_{(\text{M})}=\frac{25}{100}=\frac{1}{4}$
And $\text{P}_{(\text{M}\cap\text{Ph})}=\frac{10}{100}=\frac{1}{10}$
$\therefore\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{Ph}}{\text{M}}\Big)=\frac{\text{P}(\text{Ph}\cap\text{M})}{\text{P}(\text{M})}$
$=\frac{\frac{1}{10}}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{2}{5}$

Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
If $\text{P}(\text{A})=\frac{3}{10},\text{P}(\text{B})=\frac{2}{5}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{3}{5},$ then $\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{B}}{\text{A}}\Big)+\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)$ equas:
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
A and B are events such that P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3 and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=0.5,$ Then $\text{P}(\text{B}'\cap\text{A})$ equals:
Choose the correct answer from the given four options:
let $\text{P}(\text{A})=\frac{7}{13},\text{P}(\text{B})=\frac{9}{13}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{4}{13}.$ Then $\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A'}}{\text{B}}\Big)$ is equal to:
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.A die is thrown and a card is selected at random from a deck of $52$ playing cards. The probability of getting an even number on the die and a spade card is:
If $\text{P(A)}=\frac{7}{13},\text{P(B)}=\frac{9}{13}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\frac{4}{13}.$ then, $\text{P}(\overline{\text{A}}|\text{B})=$
