Solutions
Let A, B and C, respectively, denote the events that the student passes in Maths, Physics and Chemistry.
It is given:
P (A) = m, P(B) = p and P(C) = c
Probability of at least one success:
p + m + c - pm - pc - cm + pmc = 0.75 ------(i)
Probability of at least two successes:
mc + mp + pc - 2mcp = 0.5 ------------(ii)
Probability of exactly two successes:
mc + mp + pc - 3mcp = 0.4 ------------(iii)
From eq. (ii) and (iii),
mcp = 0.5 - 0.4 = 0.1 = 1/10
mc + mp + pc = 0.5 + 0.2 = 0.7 = 7/10
From (i),
p + m + c = 27/20
Hence option B is correct.
