Let A, B and C be three events such that the probability that exactly one of A and B occurs is (1 – k), the probability that exactly one of the B and C occurs is (1 – 2k), the probability that exactly one of C and A occurs is (1 – k) and the probability of all A, B and C occur simultaneously is k2, where 0 < k < 1. Then the probability that at least one of A, B and C occur is:

Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:

  P ( A ¯ B ) + P ( A B ¯ ) = 1 k ,

P ( A B C ) = k 2             

P ( A ) + P ( B ) 2 P ( A B ) = 1 k .........(i)

P ( B ) + P ( C ) 2 P ( B C ) = 1 k ........(ii)

P ( A ) + P ( C ) 2 P ( A C ) = 1 2 k .........(iii)

Adding (i), (ii) and (iii) we get P ( A B C ) = 4 k + 3 2 + k 2

P ( A B C ) = 2 k 2 4 k + 2 + 1 2 = 2 ( k 1 ) 2 + 1 2 P ( A B C ) > 1 2

We are given bounds for a function f (t) on two intervals and need to find the range of g (3) = ∫? ³ f (t) dt.
We split the integral: g (3) = ∫? ¹ f (t)dt + ∫? ³ f (t)dt.
For the first interval t ∈ [0, 1], we have 1/3 ≤ f (t) ≤ 1. Integrating from 0 to 1 gives:
∫? ¹ (1/3) dt ≤ ∫? ¹ f (t)dt ≤ ∫? ¹ 1 dt
