    For any two independent events \[{{E}_{1}}\] and \[{{E}_{2}},\] \[P\,\{({{E}_{1}}\cup {{E}_{2}})\cap ({{\bar{E}}_{1}}\cap {{\bar{E}}_{2}})\}\] is                                        [IIT 1991; Pb. CET 2003]

    A)                 \[<\frac{1}{4}\]   

    B)                 \[>\frac{1}{4}\]

    C)                 \[\ge \frac{1}{2}\] 

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Since \[\overline{{{E}_{1}}}\cap \overline{{{E}_{2}}}=\overline{{{E}_{1}}\cup {{E}_{2}}}\] and\[({{E}_{1}}\cup {{E}_{2}})\cap (\overline{{{E}_{1}}\cup {{E}_{2}}})=\varphi \]                 \[P\,\{({{E}_{1}}\cup {{E}_{2}})\cap (\overline{{{E}_{1}}}\cap \overline{{{E}_{2}}})\}=P(\varphi )=0<\frac{1}{4}\].
