Question

The probability that at least one of the event A and B occurs is 0.6 if A and B occur simultaneously with probability 0.2, then 

Solution

Correct option is

1.2

At least one:       P(A ∪ B) = 0.6

Simultaneous:    P(A ∩ B) = 0.2

We know            P(A ∪ B) + P(A ∩ B) = P(A) + P(B)

⇒                       P(A) + P(B) = 0.8
