Let A, B, C be three events. If the probability of occurring exactly one event out of A and B is 1 - a, out of B and C is 1 - 2a, out of C and A is 1 - a and that of occuring three events simultaneously is a^(2) , then prove that probability that at least one out of A, B, C will occur is greater than 1/2.

For three events A ,B and C ,P (Exactly one of A or B occurs) =P (Exactly one of B or C occurs) =P (Exactly one of C or A occurs) =1/4 and P (All the three events occur simultaneously) =1/6dot Then the probability that at least one of the events occurs, is : 7/(64) (2) 3/(16) (3) 7/(32) (4) 7/(16)
