MCQ
The probabilities of a problem being solved by two students are $\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3}$. Then the probability of the problem being solved is
  • $\frac{2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • D
    $1$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{2}{3}$
a
(a) The probability that the problem is not being solved by any of two students

$= \left( {1 - \frac{1}{2}} \right)\,\left( {1 - \frac{1}{3}} \right) = \frac{1}{3}$ and

probability that the problem is solved $=  1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$.
