Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Given: P(A)=0.3P(A) = 0.3, P(B)=0.4P(B) = 0.4, and AA and BB are independent events.

For independent events, P(A∩B)=P(A)×P(B)P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B).


For (A) P(A∩B)P(A \cap B):

P(A∩B)=P(A)×P(B)P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B)

P(A∩B)=0.3×0.4P(A \cap B) = 0.3 \times 0.4

P(A∩B)=0.12P(A \cap B) = 0.12

(A) matches with (III). We know enough—can mark the option right away and save time!


For (B) P(A∪B)P(A \cup B):

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)

P(A∪B)=0.3+0.4−0.12P(A \cup B) = 0.3 + 0.4 - 0.12

P(A∪B)=0.58P(A \cup B) = 0.58

(B) matches with (IV)


For (C) P(A∣B)P(A|B):

Since AA and BB are independent, P(A∣B)=P(A)P(A|B) = P(A).

P(A∣B)=0.3P(A|B) = 0.3

(C) matches with (I)


For (D) P(B∣A)P(B|A):

Since AA and BB are independent, P(B∣A)=P(B)P(B|A) = P(B).

P(B∣A)=0.4P(B|A) = 0.4

(D) matches with (II)


Therefore, the correct answer is: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
