Let Ajay will not appear in JEE exam with probability p=27, while both Ajay and Vijay will appear in the exam with probability q=15. Then the probability, that Ajay will appear in the exam and Vijay will not appear is:
  1. 935
  2. 1835
  3. 2435
  4. 335

Solution

The probability that Ajay will not appear in exam is, PA'=p=27.

PA=57

The probability that Ajay and Vijay will appear in exam is, PAV=q=15.

PA×PV=15

PV=15×75

PV=725

The probability that Ajay will appear and Vijay will not appear in the exam is,

PAV'=57×1825

PAV'=1835
