Correct answer: A

  1. We are given: P(A∪B)=34,P(A∩B)=14,P(A‾)=23P(A\cup B)=\frac34, \quad P(A\cap B)=\frac14, \quad P(\overline A)=\frac23P(A∪B)=43​,P(A∩B)=41​,P(A)=32​

  2. First find P(A)P(A)P(A): P(A)=1−P(A‾)=1−23=13P(A)=1-P(\overline A)=1-\frac23=\frac13P(A)=1−P(A)=1−32​=31​

  3. Use the formula for union: P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B) Substituting the values: 34=13+P(B)−14\frac34=\frac13+P(B)-\frac1443​=31​+P(B)−41​

  4. Simplify: 13−14=4−312=112\frac13-\frac14=\frac{4-3}{12}=\frac1{12}31​−41​=124−3​=121​ So, 34=P(B)+112\frac34=P(B)+\frac1{12}43​=P(B)+121​ P(B)=34−112=9−112=812=23P(B)=\frac34-\frac1{12}=\frac{9-1}{12}=\frac8{12}=\frac23P(B)=43​−121​=129−1​=128​=32​

  5. Now, P(A‾∩B)=P(B)−P(A∩B)P(\overline A\cap B)=P(B)-P(A\cap B)P(A∩B)=P(B)−P(A∩B) since event BBB is split into two disjoint parts: B=(A∩B)∪(A‾∩B)B=(A\cap B)\cup(\overline A\cap B)B=(A∩B)∪(A∩B)

    Therefore, P(A‾∩B)=23−14P(\overline A\cap B)=\frac23-\frac14P(A∩B)=32​−41​ =8−312=512=\frac{8-3}{12}=\frac5{12}=128−3​=125​

  6. Hence the correct option is: 512\boxed{\frac5{12}}125​​ which is Option A.
