MCQ
If $\text{P(A)}=\frac{3}{10},\text{P(B)}=\frac{2}{5}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B}=\frac{3}{5,}$ then $P(A|B) + P(B|A)$ equals
  • A
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • $\frac{7}{12}$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{12}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{7}{12}$
$\text{P(B)}=\frac{3}{10},\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{2}{5},\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{3}{5}$
$\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\text{P(A)}+\text{P(B)}-\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{A})$
$\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\frac{3}{10}+\frac{2}{5}-\frac{3}{5}$
$\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)+\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{B}}{\text{A}}\Big)=\frac{\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})}{\text{P(B)}}+\frac{\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})}{\text{P(A)}}$
$\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)+\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{B}}{\text{A}}\Big)=\frac{\frac{1}{10}}{\frac{2}{5}}+\frac{\frac{1}{10}}{\frac{3}{10}}$
$\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)+\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{B}}{\text{A}}\Big)=\frac{7}{12}$
