Mohan post a letter to Sohan. It is known that one letter out of `10 `letters do not reach its destination. If it is certain that Sohan will reply if he receives the letter. If `A` denotes the event that the Sohan receives the letter and `B` denotes the event that Mohan gets a reply, then

A

`P(B)=(81)/(100)`

B

`P(AnnB)=(81)/(100)`

C

`P((A)/(barB))=(9)/(19)`

D

`P(AuuB)=(9)/(10)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D
`(a,b,c,d)` `P(A)=(9)/(10)`
`P(B)=P(AnnB)=(9)/(10)xx(9)/(10)=(81)/(100)`
`P((A)/(B))=(P(AnnbarB))/(P(barB))=((9)/(10)xx(1)/(10))/(1-(81)/(100))=(9)/(19)`
`P(AuuB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(AnnB)=(9)/(10)`
