CBSEENMA12033724

A problem in Mathematics is given to three students Dayanand, Ramesh and Naresh and whose cances of solving it are 1 half comma space 1 third comma space 1 fourth respectively, what is the probability  that the problem will be solved?

Solution
The probabilities of Dayanand, Ramesh and Naresh solving the problem are 1 half comma space 1 third comma space 1 fourth respectively.
∴    the probabilities of Dayanand, Ramesh and Naresh not solving the problems are 
1 minus 1 half space equals 1 half comma space space 1 minus 1 third space equals 2 over 3 comma space space 1 minus 1 fourth space equals 3 over 4 respectively.
∴ the probability that the problem is not solved by any one of them 1 half cross times 2 over 3 cross times 3 over 4 space equals 1 fourth.
∴ the probability that the problem will be solved by at least one of them equals space 1 minus 1 fourth space equals 3 over 4.
