        A problem in mathematics is given to three students A, B, C and their respective probability of solving the problem is\[\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3}\]and\[\frac{1}{4}\]. Probability that the problem is solved is:

    A)  \[\frac{3}{4}\]                                  

    B)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{2}{3}\]                                  

    D)  \[\frac{1}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[P({{E}_{1}})=\frac{1}{2},{{P}_{2}}({{E}_{2}})=\frac{1}{3}\]and \[P({{E}_{3}})=\frac{1}{4}\] \[P({{E}_{1}}\cup {{E}_{1}}\cup {{E}_{3}})=1-P({{\overline{E}}_{1}})P({{\overline{E}}_{2}})P({{\overline{E}}_{3}})\]                 \[=1-\left( 1-\frac{1}{2} \right)\left( 1-\frac{1}{3} \right)\left( 1-\frac{1}{4} \right)\]                 \[=1-\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}\times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\]
