Let A and B be two events such that the probability

Question:

Let $A$ and $B$ be two events such that the probability that exactly one of them occurs is $\frac{2}{5}$ and the probability that $\mathrm{A}$ or $\mathrm{B}$ occurs is $\frac{1}{2}$, then the probability of both of them occur together is

  1. $0.02$

  2. $0.01$

  3. $0.20$

  4. $0.10$


Correct Option: , 4

Solution:

$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})-2 \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\frac{2}{5}$

$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})-\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\frac{1}{2}$

$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\frac{1}{10}$

(4) Option
