MCQ
Choose the correct answer from the given four options. In a college, $30\%$ students fail in physics, $25\%$ fail in mathematics and $10\% $ fail in both. One student is chosen at random. The probability that she fails in physics if she has failed in mathematics is :
  • A
    $\frac{1}{10}$
  • $\frac{2}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{9}{20}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{2}{5}$
Here, $\text{P}_{(\text{Ph})}=\frac{30}{100}=\frac{3}{10}$
$\text{P}_{(\text{M})}=\frac{25}{100}=\frac{1}{4}$
And $\text{P}_{(\text{M}\cap\text{Ph})}=\frac{10}{100}=\frac{1}{10}$
$\therefore\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{Ph}}{\text{M}}\Big)=\frac{\text{P}(\text{Ph}\cap\text{M})}{\text{P}(\text{M})}$
$=\frac{\frac{1}{10}}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{2}{5}$
