Three ships `A ,B ,a n dC` sail from England to India. If the ratio of their arriving safely are 2:5, 3:7, and 6:11, respectively, then the probability of all the ships for arriving safely is `18//595` b. `6//17` c. `3//10` d. `2//7`

A

`18//595`

B

`6//17`

C

`3//10`

D

`2//7`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

The ration of the ships A, B and C for arriving safely are `2:5,3:7,and 6:11,` respectively. Therefore is `2//(2+5)=2//7.`
Similarly, for B the probability is `3//(3+7)=3//10` and for C the probability is `C=6//(6+11)=6//17.`
Therefore the probability of all the ships for arriving seafly is `(2//7)xx(3//10)xx(6//17)=18//895.`
Therefore, the probability of all the ships for arriving safely is
`(2//7)xx(3//10)xx(6//17)=18//595.`
