The probability of occurance of two two events A and B are 1/4 and 1/2 respectively. The probability of their simultaneous occurrance is 7/50. Find the probability that neither A nor B occurs.

A 25/99

B 39/100

C 61/100

D 17/100

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

P ( neither A nor B) = \(P\left(\overline A\;and\;\overline B\right)\)

= \(P\left(\overline A\cap\overline B\right)\)

= \(P\left(\overline{A\cup B}\right)\)

= \(1-P\left(A\cup B\right)\)

= \(1-\frac{61}{100}=\frac{39}{100}\)
