Vedclass · Answer

(B) Let $P(A) = \frac{1}{2}$,$P(B) = \frac{1}{3}$,and $P(C) = \frac{1}{4}$ be the probabilities of students $A, B$,and $C$ solving the problem respectively.Then,the probabilities of them not solving the problem are $P(\bar{A}) = 1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$,$P(\bar{B}) = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$,and $P(\bar{C}) = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$.The probability that exactly one of them solves the problem is given by:$P(	ext{Exactly one}) = P(A)P(\bar{B})P(\bar{C}) + P(\bar{A})P(B)P(\bar{C}) + P(\bar{A})P(\bar{B})P(C)$$= (\frac{1}{2} 	imes \frac{2}{3} 	imes \frac{3}{4}) + (\frac{1}{2} 	imes \frac{1}{3} 	imes \frac{3}{4}) + (\frac{1}{2} 	imes \frac{2}{3} 	imes \frac{1}{4})$$= \frac{6}{24} + \frac{3}{24} + \frac{2}{24} = \frac{11}{24}$.

$A$ problem is given to $3$ students $A, B$ and $C$ whose chances of solving it are $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ respectively. Then,the probability of the problem being solved by exactly one of them,if all the three try independently,is
