NIMCET 2012 — Mathematics PYQ
NIMCET | Mathematics | 2012Let P(E) denote the probability of event E. Given P(A)=1 and P(B)=21, the values of P(A∣B) and P(B∣A) respectively are:
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
41,21
- B.
21,41
1,21
Explanation
1. Finding P(A∩B):
Since P(A)=1, event A is a sure event (it covers the entire sample space). Therefore, the intersection of any event B with a sure event A is simply the event B itself.
2. Calculating P(A∣B):
Using the formula for conditional probability:
3. Calculating P(B∣A):
Using the formula for conditional probability:
Conclusion:
The values are 1 and 21.
Correct Option: (d)
