Solution

The correct option is D P(AB)=910
A: Sohan receives the letter.
B: Mohan gets a reply.

P(B)=P( Sohan receives the letter)× P (Sohan writes a reply)× P( Mohan gets the letter)

=910×1×910=81100

P(AB)=P(B)=81100

P(A|¯¯¯¯B)=P(A¯¯¯¯B)P(¯¯¯¯B)
P(¯¯¯¯B)=1P(B)=19100P(A¯¯¯¯B)=910×1×110P(A|¯¯¯¯B)=919

P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)
P(AB)=910+8110081100
P(A)=910
