Question

    The probability that Kunal passes an exam is (5/11) and the

    probability that Tanya fails is (3/7). If both write the exam, what is the probability that they both have the same result?
    A 38/77 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 36/77 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 34/77 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 32/77 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 40/77 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Probability that Kunal fails = 1 - (5/11) = (6/11)
    Probability that Tanya passes = 1 - (3/7) = (4/7)
    Required probability = (5/11) × (4/7) + (6/11) × (3/7)
    = (20/77) + (18/77) = (38/77)
