The probability that a man lives after 10 years is 1/4 and that his wife is alive after 10 years is 1/3. The probability that neither of them is alive after 10 years is ?
-
- 1/2
- 1/12
- 7/12
- 3/4
Correct Option: A
P(M) = 1/4; P(W)= 1/3
⇒ P (M) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
⇒ P(W)= 1 - 1/3 = 2/3
Reqd. probability = P(M) P(W) = 3/4 x 2/3 = 1/2
