LetE1,E2,E3be three mutually exclusive events such thatPE1=2+3p6,PE2=2-p8andPE3=1-p2. If the maximum and minimum values ofparep1andp2thenp1+p2is equal to:

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

We know that,

0PEi1for i=1,2,3

0PE11

02+3P61

P-23,43 ........i

Now for 0PE21

02-P81

P-6,2........ii

Now for 0PE31

01-P21

P-1,1.......iii

Also, E1 and E2 and E3 are mutually exclusive

PE1+PE2+PE31

01312-P81

P23,263...........iv

Now taking intersection of all we get,

23P1

So maximum value p1=1 and minimum value p2=23

So, p1+p2=53
