उत्तर
This statement is True.
Explanation:
Exactly one of A and B occurs.
This means if occurs B does not occur and if B occurs A does not occur.
∴ Required probability = P(A ∩ B') + P(A' ∩ B)
= P(A)P(B') + P(A')P(B)
Since A and B are independent the nA' and B', A and B' are also independent

Bag A contains 3 red and 2 white balls and bag B contains 2 red and 5 white balls. A bag is selected at random, a ball is drawn and put into the other bag, and then a ball is drawn from that bag. Find the probability that both the balls drawn are of same color
A bag contains 3 red and 5 white balls. Two balls are drawn at random one after the other without replacement. Find the probability that both the balls are white.
Solution: Let,
A : First ball drawn is white
B : second ball drawn in white.
P(A) = `square/square`
After drawing the first ball, without replacing it into the bag a second ball is drawn from the remaining `square` balls.
∴ P(B/A) = `square/square`
∴ P(Both balls are white) = P(A ∩ B)
`= "P"(square) * "P"(square)`
`= square * square`
= `square`
