P (A ∪ B) = P (A ∩ B) if the relation between P (A) and P (B) is : (a) P (A) + P (B) = 2P (A ∪ B) (b) P (A) + P (B) = 2P (A) P (A ⁄ B) (c) P (A) + P (B) = 2P (A) P (B ⁄ A) (d) none of these

Answer»

Correct option (c) P (A) + P (B) = 2P (A) P (B ⁄ A)

Explanation:

We have P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) − P (A ∩ B) ...(1) 

Since P (A ∪ B) = P (A ∩ B) [given] 

P (A ∩ B) = P (A) + P (B) − P (A ∩ B) [from (1)] 

⇒ 2P (A ∩ B) = P (A) + P (B) 

⇒ P (A) + P (B) = 2P (A ∩ B) 

⇒ P (A) + P (B) = 2P (A) P (B ⁄ A).
