Answer : 3. "3/4"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 3/4 Explanation: Let A, B, C be the respective events of solving the problem and A , B, C be the respective events of not solving the problem. Then A, B, C are independent event ∴A, B, C are independent events Now, P(A) = 1/2 , P(B) = 1/3 and P(C)=1/4 PA=12, PB=23, PC= 34 ∴ P( none solves the problem) = P(not A) and (not B) and (not C) = PA∩B∩C = PAPBPC ∵ A, B, C are Independent = 12×23×34 = 14 Hence, P(the problem will be solved) = 1 - P(none solves the problem) = 1-14= 3/4
