Correct answer: C

  1. Let P(A∩B)=0.1=110.P(A\cap B)=0.1=\frac{1}{10}.P(A∩B)=0.1=101​.

  2. Given that P(A∣B)P(A\mid B)P(A∣B) and P(B∣A)P(B\mid A)P(B∣A) are the roots of 12x2−7x+1=0.12x^2-7x+1=0.12x2−7x+1=0.

    Now, P(A∣B)=P(A∩B)P(B)=0.1P(B),P(A\mid B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}=\frac{0.1}{P(B)},P(A∣B)=P(B)P(A∩B)​=P(B)0.1​, P(B∣A)=P(A∩B)P(A)=0.1P(A).P(B\mid A)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}=\frac{0.1}{P(A)}.P(B∣A)=P(A)P(A∩B)​=P(A)0.1​.

  3. For the quadratic 12x2−7x+1=0,12x^2-7x+1=0,12x2−7x+1=0, sum of roots is 712,\frac{7}{12},127​, and product of roots is 112.\frac{1}{12}.121​.

    Let the roots be r1=P(A∣B),r2=P(B∣A).r_1=P(A\mid B),\qquad r_2=P(B\mid A).r1​=P(A∣B),r2​=P(B∣A).

  4. Using the product of roots: r1r2=112.r_1r_2=\frac{1}{12}.r1​r2​=121​.

    But r1r2=0.1P(B)⋅0.1P(A)=0.01P(A)P(B).r_1r_2=\frac{0.1}{P(B)}\cdot \frac{0.1}{P(A)}=\frac{0.01}{P(A)P(B)}.r1​r2​=P(B)0.1​⋅P(A)0.1​=P(A)P(B)0.01​.

    So, 0.01P(A)P(B)=112\frac{0.01}{P(A)P(B)}=\frac{1}{12}P(A)P(B)0.01​=121​ P(A)P(B)=0.12.P(A)P(B)=0.12.P(A)P(B)=0.12.

  5. Using the sum of roots: r1+r2=712.r_1+r_2=\frac{7}{12}.r1​+r2​=127​.

    That is, 0.1P(B)+0.1P(A)=712.\frac{0.1}{P(B)}+\frac{0.1}{P(A)}=\frac{7}{12}.P(B)0.1​+P(A)0.1​=127​.

    Multiply by 101010: 1P(B)+1P(A)=356.\frac{1}{P(B)}+\frac{1}{P(A)}=\frac{35}{6}.P(B)1​+P(A)1​=635​.

    Hence, P(A)+P(B)P(A)P(B)=356.\frac{P(A)+P(B)}{P(A)P(B)}=\frac{35}{6}.P(A)P(B)P(A)+P(B)​=635​.

    Since P(A)P(B)=0.12=325P(A)P(B)=0.12=\frac{3}{25}P(A)P(B)=0.12=253​, P(A)+P(B)=356⋅325=710=0.7.P(A)+P(B)=\frac{35}{6}\cdot \frac{3}{25}=\frac{7}{10}=0.7.P(A)+P(B)=635​⋅253​=107​=0.7.

  6. Now, P(Aˉ∪Bˉ)=1−P(A∩B)=1−0.1=0.9.P(\bar A\cup \bar B)=1-P(A\cap B)=1-0.1=0.9.P(Aˉ∪Bˉ)=1−P(A∩B)=1−0.1=0.9.

    Also, P(Aˉ∩Bˉ)=1−P(A∪B).P(\bar A\cap \bar B)=1-P(A\cup B).P(Aˉ∩Bˉ)=1−P(A∪B).

    And P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)=0.7−0.1=0.6.P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=0.7-0.1=0.6.P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)=0.7−0.1=0.6.

    Therefore, P(Aˉ∩Bˉ)=1−0.6=0.4.P(\bar A\cap \bar B)=1-0.6=0.4.P(Aˉ∩Bˉ)=1−0.6=0.4.

  7. Required ratio: P(Aˉ∪Bˉ)P(Aˉ∩Bˉ)=0.90.4=94.\frac{P(\bar A\cup \bar B)}{P(\bar A\cap \bar B)}=\frac{0.9}{0.4}=\frac{9}{4}.P(Aˉ∩Bˉ)P(Aˉ∪Bˉ)​=0.40.9​=49​.

  8. Hence the correct option is 94.\boxed{\frac{9}{4}}.49​​.
