In a college `3%` students fail in Physics, `25%` fail in Mathematics and `10%` fail in both. One student is chosen at random. The probability that she fails in Physics if she has failed in Mathematics is

A

a) `1/10`

B

b) `1/3`

C

c) `2/5`

D

d) `9/20`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c) `2/5`

Let,

Take `100` students in school

Students (failed in physics) `=3`

Students (failed in math) `=25`

Students (failed in physics and math) `=10`

`P(X)=10/25=2/5`

Hence, correct option is c)
