Three students try to solve a problem independently with a probability of solving it as 13,25,512 respectively. What is the probability that the problem is solved?
The probability that the problem is solved by 1st, 2nd and 3rd student is 13,25,512 respectively.
The probability that problem is not solved by 1st student =1−13=23
The probability that problem is not solved by 2nd student =1−25=35
The probability that problem is not solved by 3rd student =1−512=712
Thus, the probability that no one will solve the problem =23×35×712=730
Thus, the probability that problem is solved =1−730=2330
