If A and B are events such that P (A|B) = P(B|A), then

Question:

If A and B are events such that P (A|B) = P(B|A), then

(A) $A \subset B$ but $A \neq

B$ (B) $A=B$

(C) $A \cap B=\Phi$

(D) $P(A)=P(B)$

Solution:

It is given that, P(A|B) = P(B|A)

$\Rightarrow \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

$\Rightarrow P(A)=P(B)$

Thus, the correct answer is D.
