उत्तर
\[\text{ Suppose S represents the event of buying a shirt and T represents the event of buying a trouser } . \]
\[\text{ We have } , \]
\[P\left( S \right) = 0 . 2\]
\[P\left( T \right) = 0 . 3 \]
\[P\left( S/T \right) = 0 . 4\]
\[\text{ Now} , \]
\[P\left( S/T \right) = \frac{P\left( S \cap T \right)}{P\left( T \right)}\]
\[ \Rightarrow P\left( S \cap T \right) = P\left( S/T \right) \times P\left( T \right) = 0 . 4 \times 0 . 3 = 0 . 12\]
\[P\left( T/S \right) = \frac{P\left( S \cap T \right)}{P\left( S \right)} = \frac{0 . 12}{0 . 2} = 0 . 6\]
