Question

An experiment yields 3 mutually exclusive and exhaustive events A , B and C . If P A = 2 P ( B ) = 3 P C , then P A is equal to, 1 11, 2 11, 3 11, 6 11

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Given, events A , B and C are mutually exclusive and exhaustive, hence P A ∪ B ∪ C = 1 ⇒ P A + P B + P C = 1 ⇒ P A + 1 2 P A + 1 3 P A = 1 ⇒ 11 6 P A = 1 ⇒ P A = 6 11
