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 the task is completed on time by none of them is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

None complete the task on time means all three fail:

P(A′)P(B′)P(C′)=23⋅34⋅45=2460=25P(A')P(B')P(C') = \frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{3}{4}\cdot\frac{4}{5} = \frac{24}{60} = \frac{2}{5}.
