MCQ
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 :
  • A
    $\frac{6}{13}$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{13}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{9}$
  • $\frac{5}{9}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{5}{9}$
Here, $\text{P}(\text{A})=\frac{7}{13},\text{P}(\text{B})=\frac{9}{13}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{4}{13}$
$\therefore\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}'}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{\text{P}(\text{A}'\cap\text{B})}{\text{P}(\text{B})}=\frac{\text{P}(\text{B})-\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})}{\text{P}(\text{B})}$
$=\frac{\frac{9}{13}-\frac{4}{13}}{\frac{9}{13}}=\frac{\frac{5}{13}}{\frac{9}{13}}=\frac{5}{9}$
