Question
The probabilities that a student passes in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are , , and respectively. Of these subjects, the student has 75% chance of passing in at least one, a 50% chance of passing in at least two and a 40% chance of passing in exactly two. Following relations are drawn in , , :(I)
(II)
(III)
(II)
(III)
Correct answer
(D) Relations I and III are true.
Solution
Let be the events of passing Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, with , , . Write and .
- At least one: .
- At least two: (each pairwise term counts the all-three outcome once, so three counts are reduced to one).
- Exactly two: .
