Let be three mutually exclusive events such that and . If the maximum and minimum values of are and , then is equal to :
- A
- B
- C
- D1
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Since are events, their probabilities must satisfy for each .
-
Given:
-
Use non-negativity of each probability.
From :
From :
From :
Combining these:
-
Now check the upper bound .
For :
For :
For :
These are weaker than the earlier bounds, so still:
-
Since the events are mutually exclusive, we must also have
Compute the sum:
Taking LCM :
Therefore,
-
Combine with the earlier range:
Hence,
-
Therefore,
So the correct option is B.
