We have, P(A ⋃ B) = P(A ⋂ B) By General Addition Rule, P(A) + P (B) – P(A ⋂ B) = P(A ⋃ B) ⇒ P(A) + P (B) – P(A ⋂ B) = P(A ⋂ B) [given] ⇒ [P(A) – P(A ⋂ B)] + [P(B) – P(A ⋂ B)] = 0 But P(A) – P(A ⋂ B) ≥ 0 and P(B) – P(A ⋂ B) ≥ 0 [∵ P(A ⋂ B) ≤ P(A) or P(B)] ⇒ P(A) – P(A ⋂ B) = 0 and P(B) – P(A ⋂ B) = 0 ⇒ P(A) = P(A ⋂ B) …(i) and P(B) = P(A ⋂ B) …(ii) From (i) and (ii), we get ∴ P(A) = P(B) Hence, the correct option is (A).
