  • A
    $\frac{n + 1}{2^{m + 1}}$
  • B
    $\frac{n + 2}{2^{m + 1}}$
  • C
    $\frac{m + 2}{2^{n + 1}}$

For three events $A, B$ and $C$,$P(\text{Exactly one of } A \text{ or } B \text{ occurs}) = P(\text{Exactly one of } B \text{ or } C \text{ occurs}) = P(\text{Exactly one of } C \text{ or } A \text{ occurs}) = \frac{1}{4}$ and $P(\text{All the three events occur simultaneously}) = \frac{1}{16}$. Then the probability that at least one of the events occurs is:

In a tournament,there are $12$ players $P_1, P_2, P_3, \dots, P_{12}$ divided into $6$ pairs at random. From each game,a winner is decided based on the game played between the two players of the pair. Assuming each player is of equal strength,what is the probability that exactly one out of $P_1$ and $P_2$ is among the losers?

Let $X$ and $Y$ be events such that $P(X \cup Y) = P(X \cap Y).$
Statement-$1$: $P(X \cap Y) = P(X' \cap Y') = 0$
Statement-$2$: $P(X) + P(Y) = 2P(X \cap Y).$

Let there be three independent events $E_{1}, E_{2}$ and $E_{3}$. The probability that only $E_{1}$ occurs is $\alpha$,only $E_{2}$ occurs is $\beta$ and only $E_{3}$ occurs is $\gamma$. Let $p$ denote the probability that none of the events occur,which satisfies the equations $(\alpha - 2\beta)p = \alpha\beta$ and $(\beta - 3\gamma)p = 2\beta\gamma$. All the given probabilities are assumed to lie in the interval $(0, 1)$. Then,$\frac{\text{Probability of occurrence of } E_{1}}{\text{Probability of occurrence of } E_{3}}$ is equal to ..........

Let $a, b$ and $c$ denote the outcomes of three independent rolls of a fair tetrahedral die,whose four faces are marked $1, 2, 3, 4$. If the probability that the quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ has real roots is $\frac{m}{n}$,where $\operatorname{gcd}(m, n) = 1$,then $m + n$ is equal to ..........
