A.

12 and 13

Given, PA  B = 16 PA . PB = 16        ...i     A and B are independent eventsand PA  B = 13 PA  B = 131 - PA  B = 13 PA  B = 1 - 13 = 23 PA + PB - PA  B = 23 PA + PB - PA . PB = 23 PA + PB = 23 + 16 = 4 + 16 = 56Now, PA - PB = PA + PB2 - 4PA . PB= 562 - 416      from Eqs. (i) and (ii)= 2536 - 46 = 136 = 16

 PA - PB = 16        ...iiiOn adding Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get    2PA = 56 + 16 = 1 PA = 12On putting values of P(A) in Eq. (iii), we get12 - PB = 16 PB = 12 - 16 = 3 - 16 = 26 PB = 13Hence, P(A) =12 and P(B) = 13
