The correct option is B P(A)=12 and P(B)=12
We are given, P(A∩B)=18 ...(1)
and P(¯A∩¯B)=38
Let P(A)=x and P(B)=y.
Since the events are independent, we have from (1),
P(A)P(B)=18 i.e. xy=18 ...(3)
And from (2), we have P(¯A∩¯B)=P(A∪B)38+1−P(A∪B)=38⇒1−P(A)−P(B)+P(A∩B)=38
⇒1−P(A)−P(B)+P(A)P(B)=38⇒1−x−y+xy=38 ...(4)
Substracting (3)from (4), we get 1−x−y=14orx+y=34 ...(5)
Now (x−y)2=(x+y)2−4xy=916−4×18=116⇒x−y=14 ..(6)
Solving (5) and (6), we get x=12 and y=14⇒x=14 and y=12
Hence P(A)=12 and P(B)=12
