The correct Answer is:
To find the chance of India winning the match, we can break down the problem into two cases based on whether India wins the toss or loses the toss. Let's denote: - \( P(T) \): Probability of India winning the toss = \( \frac{3}{4} \) - \( P(W|T) \): Probability of India winning the match given that it wins the toss = \( \frac{4}{5} \) - \( P(L) \): Probability of India losing the toss = \( 1 - P(T) = 1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \) - \( P(W|L) \): Probability of India winning the match given that it loses the toss = \( \frac{1}{2} \) Now, we can use the law of total probability to find the overall probability of India winning the match \( P(W) \): \[ P(W) = P(T) \cdot P(W|T) + P(L) \cdot P(W|L) \] Substituting the values we have: \[ P(W) = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{4}{5}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{4}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \] Calculating each term: 1. For the first term: \[ \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{4}{5} = \frac{12}{20} = \frac{3}{5} \] 2. For the second term: \[ \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8} \] Now we need to add these two results together: To add \( \frac{3}{5} \) and \( \frac{1}{8} \), we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 8 is 40. Converting each fraction: \[ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 8}{5 \times 8} = \frac{24}{40} \] \[ \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1 \times 5}{8 \times 5} = \frac{5}{40} \] Now we can add them: \[ P(W) = \frac{24}{40} + \frac{5}{40} = \frac{29}{40} \] Thus, the chance of India winning the match is: \[ \frac{29}{40} \] ### Final Answer: The chance of India's victory is \( \frac{29}{40} \).
