The probability of pulling a blue ball out of a glass jar is 1/X. The probability of pulling a blue ball out of a glass jar and breaking the jar is 1/Y. What is the probability of breaking the jar?	Choose the correct option
A) X/Y. B) 1/(XY) C) Y/X. D) 1/(X+Y). E) 1/(X-Y).
pulling a blue ball out of a glass jar and breaking the jar both are independent events.   For 2 independent events, we know, P(a) * P(b) = P(a∩b)   If Prob of pulling a blue ball out of a glass jar = P(a) and Prob of breaking the jar = P(b)   1/x * P(b) = 1/y ---&gt; P(b) = x/y   Hence, answer should be X/Y..
