Step-by-Step Solution

Given: \(P(A/B) = P(B/A)\) and \(P(A/B) \ne 0\)

We know that \(P(A/B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}\) and \(P(B/A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}\)

Since \(P(A/B) = P(B/A)\), we have \(\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}\)

Since \(P(A/B) \ne 0\), it implies that \(P(A \cap B) \ne 0\). Therefore, we can safely divide both sides by \(P(A \cap B)\)

So, \(\frac{1}{P(B)} = \frac{1}{P(A)}\), which implies \(P(A) = P(B)\)

Correct Answer: P(A)=P(B)

Pedagogical Audit
Bloom's Analysis: This is an UNDERSTAND question because the student needs to comprehend the given conditional probability condition and relate it to the probabilities of events A and B to determine the correct relationship between them.
Knowledge Dimension: CONCEPTUAL
Justification: The question requires understanding the concepts of conditional probability and the relationships between events, rather than recalling specific facts or performing calculations.
Syllabus Audit: In the context of CBSE Class 12, this is classified as KNOWLEDGE. The question directly tests the understanding of conditional probability, a core concept covered in the textbook.
