Answer

Correct option: A.

Both the statements are true

a
Let $A$ and $E$ be any two events with positive probabilities.

Consider statement-$1$:

$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E} / \mathrm{A}) \geq \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} / \mathrm{E}) \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E})$

$\mathrm{LHS}: \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E} / \mathrm{A})=\begin{array}{c}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E} \cap \mathrm{A})} \\ {\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})}\end{array}$ ......$(1)$

$\mathrm{RHS}: \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} / \mathrm{E}) \cdot \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E})=\frac{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E} \cap \mathrm{A})}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E})}-\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E})$

$=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{E})$ .......$(2)$

Clearly, from $( 1)$ and $( 2)$

we have

$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E} / \mathrm{A}) \geq \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{E})$

Thus, statement - $1$ is true.

Similarly, statement-$2$ is also true.
