Solution

We have,PA=310, PB=25 and PAB=35As, PAB=35PA+PB-PAB=35310+25-PAB=353+410-PAB=35PAB=710-35PAB=7-610PAB=110Now,PA|B+PB|A=PABPB+PABPA=11025+110310=510×2+1010×3=14+13=3+412=712

Hence, the correct alternative is option (b).

Disclaimer: The option (b) given in the book is incorrect as the probability of any event is always less than 1. The same has been corrected here.
