Correct Answer - A::B::C Since , 1+3p 3 , 1-p 4 and 1-2p 2 are the probability of mutually exclusive events . ∴ 1+3p 3 + 1-p 4 + 1-2P 2 ≤1 ⇒4+12P+3-3P+6-12P≤12 ⇒ 13-3p≤12 ⇒ p≥ 1 3 ... and 0 le (1+3p)/(3) le 1, 0 le (1-p)/(4) le 1, 0 le (1-2p)/(2) le 1 rArr 0 le 1 + 3p le 3,0 le 1- p le 4, 0 le 1 -2p le 2 rArr -1/3 le p le 2/3 , 1 ge p ge -3 , 1/2 ge p ge - 1/2 From Eqs (i) and (ii) 1//3 le p le 1//2
