Detailed Solution
Probability of hitting the target by one missile is P( hitting when not intercepted)×P(Missile not intercepted) = 12SInce all the missiles fired independently The probability to hit the target is 123=18P (missile intercepted) =13, P (missile not intercepted)=23 P (hit the target)=34 Req probability =23.343=18
