A manager decides to distribute between two employees and . He knows deserves more than , but does not know how much more. So, he decides to arbitrarily break in to two parts and gives the bigger part. Then, the chance that gets twice as much as or more is
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
Given,
gets the bigger part than
So, the bigger part could be any number from to .
Now, if the bigger part is to be at least twice as much as the smaller part, we have
So, the probability is equal toHence the answer is
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
