Question

    The probability that three students A, B and C solve a problem is 3/5, 7/ 9 and 1/3 respectively. What is the probability that the problem is solved?

    A 8/121 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8/135 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5/135 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4/135 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Probability of A problem solve =P(A)=3/5 Probability of A problem does not solve=1-3/5=2/5 Probability of B problem solve=P(B)=7/9 Probability of B problem does not solve=1-7/9=2/9 Probability of C problem solve=1/3 Probability of C problem does not solve=1-1/3=2/3. Total Probability of problem does not solve=2/5 ×2/9×2/3 =8/135.
