4. 7%
1. 24%
2. 20%
3. 14%
4. 7%
Correct Answer – Option 3 : 14%
Given:
The probability of shooter Ajay hitting the target is 70%
Probability of shooter Bharat Missing the target is 80%
Formula Used:
Probability = number of favourable outcomes /total number of outcome
Calculation:
The probability of shooter Ajay hitting the target is 70% = 7/10
⇒ The probability of shooter Ajay missing the target is 30% = 3/10
Probability of shooter Barath Missing the target is 80% = 8/10
⇒ The probability of shooter Barath Hitting the target is 20% = 2/10
Probability of hitting the target will be = 7/10 × 2/10 = 14%
∴The Probability that both Ajay and Bharat hitting the target will be 14%
