JEE Main 2022 · 26 Jul · Shift 1, Mathematics question 17

Let E1E_1, E2E_2, E3E_3 be three mutually exclusive events such that P(E1)=2+3p6P(E_1)=\dfrac{2+3p}6, P(E2)=2−p8P(E_2)=\dfrac{2-p}8 and P(E3)=1−p2P(E_3)=\dfrac{1-p}2. If the maximum and minimum values of p are p1p_1 and p2p_2, then (p1+p2)(p_1+p_2) is equal to :

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: B

Each between 0 and 1 and the sum at most 1: −23≤p≤43-\frac23\le p\le\frac43, p≤2p\le2, −1≤p≤1-1\le p\le1, and 26−3p24≤1\frac{26-3p}{24}\le1 gives p≥23p\ge\frac23.

Range [23,1]\left[\frac23,1\right]: sum 53\frac53.
