Three persons A, B and C were given a task, whose probabilities of completion their task on time are 13,14\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{4} and 15\frac{1}{5} respectively. They were asked to complete the task on time independently.

The probability that B alone complete the task on time is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

BB alone means AA and CC both fail, BB succeeds:

P(A′)P(B)P(C′)=23⋅14⋅45=860=215P(A')P(B)P(C') = \frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{4}{5} = \frac{8}{60} = \frac{2}{15}.
