205.Two buses A and B are scheduled to arrive at a town central bus station at
noon. The probability that bus A will be late is 1/5. The probability that bus B
will belate is 7/25. The probability that the bus B is late given that bus A is late
is 9/10. Then the probabilities
(1) neither bus will belate on a particular day and
(ii) bus A is late given that bus B is late, are respectively
(A)2/25 and 12/28 (B)18/25 and 22/28
(C)7/10 and 18/28 (D)12/25 and 2/28
Two children A and B both have a pair of normal dice and they throw
