Correct Answer - D We have, Required probability = P ( ¯¯¯ A ∪ ¯¯¯ B ) = P ( ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A ∩ B ) = 1 − P ( A ∩ B ) = So, alternative (a) is correct. Again, P ( ¯¯¯ A ∪ ¯¯¯ B ) = P ( ¯¯¯ A ) + P ( ¯¯¯ B ) − P ( ¯¯¯ A ∩ ¯¯¯ B ) P [ By add. Theorem] So, alternative (b) is correct. Again, P ( ¯¯¯ A ∪ ¯¯¯ B ) P = P ( ¯¯¯ A ) + P ( ¯¯¯ B ) − P ( ¯¯¯ A ∩ ¯¯¯ B ) = = P ( ¯¯¯ A ) + P ( ¯¯¯ B ) − P ( ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A ∪ B ) = = ( P ( ¯¯¯ A ) + P ( ¯¯¯ B ) − { 1 − P ( A ∪ B ) } = = P ( ¯¯¯ A ) + P ( ¯¯¯ B ) + P ( A ∪ B ) − 1 = . So, alternative (c ) is also correct.
