Probability of getting correct answer = x/3
Probability of getting the wrong answer =x/5
Probability of getting correct answer + Probability of getting wrong answer = 1
x/3 + x/5 = 1
5x/15 + 3x+15 = 1
8x/15 = 1
x = 1*15/8
x = 15/8 = 1.875
Therefore, the value of x is 15/8 OR 1.875
Probability of getting the wrong answer =x/5
Probability of getting correct answer + Probability of getting wrong answer = 1
x/3 + x/5 = 1
5x/15 + 3x+15 = 1
8x/15 = 1
x = 1*15/8
x = 15/8 = 1.875
Therefore, the value of x is 15/8 OR 1.875
i cant say that this is wrong.i think that if we substitute x in eq 1 and 2 and then add means we will not get 1
