• $\frac{1}{4}$

If A, B and C are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events of a random experiment such that P(B) = $\frac{3}{2}$P(A) and P(C) = $\frac{1}{2}$P(B), then P(A ∪ C) equals to

• $\frac{3}{13}$

• $\frac{6}{13}$

• $\frac{7}{13}$

Two persons A and B are throwing an unbiased six faced dice alternatively, with the condition that the person who throws 3 first wins the game. If A starts the game, then probabilities of A and B to win the same are, respectively

• $\frac{5}{11}, \frac{6}{11}$

• $\frac{8}{11}, \frac{3}{11}$

• $\frac{3}{11}, \frac{8}{11}$

The letters of the word 'QUESTION' are arranged in a row at random. The probability that there are exactly two letters between Q and S is

A speaks truth in 75% of the cases and B in 80% of the cases. Then, the probability that their statements about an incident do not match, is
