The probabilities of three events A, B and C are given by P(A) = 0.6, P(B) = 0.4 and P(C) = 0.5. If P(A ∪ B) = 0.8, P(A ∩ C) = 0.3, P(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 0.2, P(B ∩ C) = β and P(A ∪ B ∪ C) = α, where 0.85 ≤ α ≤ 0.95, then β lies in the interval:

Detailed Solution:P (A∪B∪C) = P (A) + P (B) + P (C) – P (A∩B) – P (B∩C) – P (C∩A) + P (A∩B∩C)
Given relations lead to: α = 1.4 – P (A∩B) – β ⇒ α + β = 1.4 - P (A∩B)
Again, from P (A∪B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A∩B), and given values, it is found that P (A∩B) = 0.2.
From (1) and (2), α = 1.2 – β.
Now given 0.85 ≤ α ≤ 0.95
⇒ 0.85 ≤ 1.2 – β ≤ 0.95
⇒ -0.35 ≤ -β ≤ -0.25
⇒ 0.25 ≤ β ≤ 0.35, so β ∈ [0.25, 0.35]
