JEE Main 2026 Mathematics question
The probabilities that players A and B of a team are selected for the captaincy for a tournament are 0.6 and 0.4, respectively. If A is selected the captain, the probability that the team wins the tournament is 0.8 and if B is selected the captain, the probability that the team wins the tournament is 0.7. Then the probability, that the team wins the tournament, is:
Answer: (B)
Solution
P(win)=0.6(0.8)+0.4(0.7)=0.48+0.28=0.76.
