An electric instrument consists of two units. Each unit must function independently for the instrument to operate. The probability that the first unit functions is $0.9$ and that of the second unit is $0.8$. The instrument is switched on and it fails to operate. If the probability that only the first unit failed and the second unit is functioning is $p$,then $98p$ is equal to ..... .

Suppose that $E_1$ and $E_2$ are two events of a random experiment such that $P(E_1) = \frac{1}{4}$,$P(E_2 / E_1) = \frac{1}{2}$ and $P(E_1 / E_2) = \frac{1}{4}$. Observe the lists given below. The correct matching of List-$I$ with List-$II$ is:
List-$I$List-$II$
$(A)$ $P(E_2)$$(i)$ $1/4$
$(B)$ $P(E_1 \cup E_2)$$(ii)$ $5/8$
$(C)$ $P(\bar{E}_1 / \bar{E}_2)$$(iii)$ $1/8$
$(D)$ $P(E_1 / \bar{E}_2)$$(iv)$ $1/2$
$(v)$ $3/8$
$(vi)$ $3/4$

If $A$ and $B$ are independent events such that $P(A \cap B') = \frac{3}{25}$ and $P(A' \cap B) = \frac{8}{25}$,then $P(A) =$
