Question

What is the probability that only one of the three is a man?

Answer 1

Answer:

31/72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the probability of A hitting the target =

6/1

Let the probability of B hitting the target =

4/1

Let the probability of C hitting the target =

3/1

The probability that exactly one of them hits the target (it means only one will hit the target while others two cannot)

6/1*4/3*3/2+6/5*4/3*3/1+6/5*4/1*3/2

=31/72
