Correct Answer - A consider the following events : E=Student A solves the problem F=Student B solves the problem G=Student C solves the problem Clearly, E, F, G are independent events such that P ( E ) = 1 2 , P ( F ) = 1 3 and P ( G ) = 1 4 P Required probability = P ( E ∪ F ∪ G ) = ⇒ ⇒ Required probability = 1 − P ( ¯¯¯ E ) P ( ¯¯¯ F ) P ( ¯¯¯ G ) = ⇒ ⇒ Required probability = 1 − 1 2 × 2 3 × 3 4 = 3 4 =
