MCQ
If $A$ and $B$ are two events such that $\text{P}(\text{A}|\text{B})=\text{p},\text{P(A)}=\text{p},\text{P(B)}=\frac{1}{3}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{5}{9},$ then $p =$
  • A
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{5}$
  • ✓
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{4}$
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{1}{3}$
$\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\text{p},\text{P(A)}=\text{p},\text{P(B)}=\frac{1}{3},\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{5}{9}$
Consider,
$\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\text{p}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})}{\text{P(B)}}=\text{P}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{P(A)}+\text{P(B)}-\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})}{\text{P(B)}}=\text{P}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{p}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{5}{9}}{\frac{1}{3}}=\text{p}$
$\Rightarrow\text{p}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{5}{9}=\frac{\text{p}}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{-2}{9}=\frac{\text{p}}{3}-\text{p}$
$=\frac{-2}{3}\text{p}=\frac{-2}{9}$
$\Rightarrow\text{p}=\frac{1}{3}$
