The odds against solving a problem by A and B are 3 : 2 and 2 : 1 respectively, then the probability that the problem will be solved, is
25
1115
A.
35
Given, P(A) = 32 + 3 = 35, PB = 22 + 1 = 23and PA = 1 - 35 = 25, PB= 1 -23 = 13∴ Required probability= PA ∩ B + PA ∩ B + PA ∩ B= PA . PB + PA . PB + PA . PB= 35 . 13 + 25 . 23 + 25 . 13= 15 + 415 + 215=3 + 4 + 2 15 = 915= 35
