detailed solution

Correct option is B

Let xi be any element of set P, we have following possibilities1 xi∈A,xi∈B2 xi∈A,xi∉B3 xi∉A,xi∈B4 xi∉A,xi∉BClearly, the element    A o B it it belongs to A and B both.Thus out of these 4 ways only first way is favorable. Now the element that we want to be in the intersection can be chosenin'n' different ways. Hence required probability is n⋅(3/4)n−1
