MCQ
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.Let $A$ and $B$ be two events such that $\text{P}(\text{A})=\frac{3}{8},\text{P}({\text{B}})=\frac{5}{8}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{3}{4}.$Then $\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)\cdot\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A'}}{\text{B}}\Big)$ is equal to:
  • A
    $\frac{2}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{8}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{20}$
  • ✓
    $\frac{6}{25}$
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{6}{25}$
We have, $\text{P}(\text{A})=\frac{3}{8},\text{P}({\text{B}})=\frac{5}{8}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{3}{4}$
Now $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\text{P}(\text{A})+\text{P}(\text{B})-\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})$
$\Rightarrow\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\frac{3}{8}+\frac{5}{8}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$
$\because\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})}{\text{P}(\text{B})}$
$=\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{5}{8}}=\frac{2}{5}$
and $\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}'}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{\text{P}(\text{A}'\cap\text{B})}{\text{P}(\text{B})}=\frac{\text{P}(\text{B})-\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})}{\text{P}(\text{B})}$
$=\frac{\frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{5}{8}}=\frac{3}{5}$
$\therefore\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)\cdot\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}'}{\text{B}}\Big)$
$=\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{3}{5}=\frac{6}{25}$
