Three persons A , B and C fire target is...

Three persons `A` , `B` and `C` fire target is turn starting with `A`. their probabilities of hitting their target are `0.4`, `0.3` and `0.2` respectively. The probability of two hits is

A

a) `0.024`

B

b) `0.452`

C

c) `0.336`

D

d) `0.188`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d) `0.188`
Given,

`P(A)=0.4`

`P(B)=0.3`

`P(C)=0.2`


Now,

`P(A)=1-0.4=0.6`

`P(B)=1-0.3=0.7`

`P(C)=1-0.2=0.8`
