    A problem in mathematics is given to 3 students whose chances of solving individually are\[\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3}\]and\[\frac{1}{4}\]. The probability that the problem will be solved at least by one, is;

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

    B)         \[\frac{1}{24}\]

    C)  \[\frac{23}{24}\]                             

    D)         \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    E)  \[1\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The probability that the problem cannot solve by any one of the student \[=\left( 1-\frac{1}{2} \right)\left( 1-\frac{1}{3} \right)\left( 1-\frac{1}{4} \right)\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}\times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\] \[\therefore \]The probability that the problem will be solved at least by one\[=1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\].
