A) \[\frac{24}{31}\]
B) \[\frac{31}{24}\]
C) \[\frac{24}{29}\]
D) \[\frac{29}{24}\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Let \[{{E}_{1}}\] = event that the examines guesses the answer \[{{E}_{2}}\] = event that he copies the answer \[{{E}_{3}}\] = event that he knows the answer and E = event that he answers correctly. Then, \[P({{E}_{1}})=\frac{1}{3},\,\,P({{E}_{2}})=\frac{1}{6}\] and \[P({{E}_{3}}),\,\,=1-\left( \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6} \right)=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \] Required probability \[=P\left( \frac{{{E}_{3}}}{E} \right)\] \[=\frac{P(E/{{E}_{3}}).P({{E}_{3}})}{P(E/{{E}_{1}}).P(E/{{E}_{2}}).P({{E}_{2}})+P(E/{{E}_{3}}).P({{E}_{3}})}\] \[=\frac{1\times \frac{1}{2}}{\left( \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{3} \right)+\left( \frac{1}{8}\times \frac{1}{6} \right)+\left( 1\times \frac{1}{2} \right)}=\frac{24}{29}\]You need to login to perform this action.
