A student appears for tests 1, 2 and 3. The studentis successful if he passes either in tests 1 and 2 or tests 1 and 3. The probabilities of the student passing in tests 1, 2 and 3 are p, q and `(1)/(2)`, respectively. If the probability that the student is successful is `(1)/(2)`, then

A

1) `p(1 + q) = 1`

B

2) `q(1+p) = 1`

C

3) `pq = 1`

D

4) `(1)/(p) + (1)/(q) = 1`
