Statement $2:$ $P(X) + P(Y = 2)\,P\,(X \cap Y)$

A

Statement $1$ is false, Statement $2$ is true.

B

Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is true,Statement $2$ is not a correct explanation of Statement $1$ .

C

Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is false

D

Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is true;Statement $2$ is a correct explanation of Statement $1.$

Solution

Let $X$ and $Y$ be two events such that

$P(X \cup Y)=P(X \cap Y)$        …..$(1)$

We know

$P(X \cup Y)=P(X)+P(Y)-P(X \cap Y)$

$P(X \cap Y)=P(X)+P(Y)-P(X \cap Y)$

(from $( 1)$)

$\Rightarrow P(X)+P(Y)=2 P(X \cap Y)$

Hence, Statement – $2$ is true

Now, $P\left(X \cap Y^{\prime}\right)=P(X)-P(X \cap Y)$

and $P\left(X^{\prime} \cap Y\right)=P(Y)-P(X \cap Y)$

This implies statement- $1$ is also true
