$S=\left\{\begin{array}{l} ABCD , ABDC , ACBD , ACDB , ADBC , ADCB , \\ BACD , BADC , BDAC , BDCA , BCAD , BCDA \\ CABD , CADB , CBDA , CBAD , CDAB , CDBA , \\ DABC , DACB , DBCA , DBAC , DCAB , DCBA \end{array}\right.$
Let $H$ be the event "she visits A either first or second"
$H=\left\{\begin{array}{r} ABCD , ABDC , ADBC , ACDB , ADBC , ADCB , \\ BACD , BADC , CABD , CADB , DABC , DACB ,\end{array}\right\}$
$So , n ( H )=12$
$P(H)=\frac{n(H)}{n(S)}$ $=\frac{12}{24}=\frac{1}{2}$

For three non impossible events $A$, $B$ and $C$ $P\left( {A \cap B \cap C} \right) = 0,P\left( {A \cup B \cup C} \right) = \frac{3}{4},$ $P\left( {A \cap B} \right) = \frac{1}{3}$ and $P\left( C \right) = \frac{1}{6}$.
The probability, exactly one of $A$ or $B$ occurs but $C$ doesn't occur is
