Answer:(d)

Hint: You must know the rules of finding probability.

Given:P(B)=\frac{3}{5}, P(A \cup B)=\frac{4}{5}, P\left(\frac{A}{B}\right)=\frac{1}{2}

Solution:

\begin{aligned} &P\left(\frac{A}{B}\right)=\frac{1}{2} \\ &\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &P(A \cap B)=\frac{1}{2} \times P(B) \\ &P(A \cap B)=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{5}=\frac{3}{10} \end{aligned}

And

\begin{aligned} &P(B \cap \bar{A})=P(B)-P(A \cap B) \\ &=\frac{3}{5}-\frac{3}{10}=\frac{3}{10} \end{aligned}

Also,

\begin{aligned} &P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B) \\ &\frac{4}{5}=P(A)+\frac{3}{5}-\frac{3}{10} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &P(A)=\frac{4}{5}-\frac{3}{5}+\frac{3}{10} \\ &P(A)=\frac{8-6+3}{10} \\ &P(A)=\frac{5}{10} \\ &P(A)=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}

So,

\begin{aligned} &P(\bar{A})=1-P(A)=1-\frac{1}{2} \\ &P(\bar{A})=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}

Now,

\begin{aligned} &P\left(\frac{B}{\bar{A}}\right)=\frac{P(B \cap \bar{A})}{P(\bar{A})} \\ &=\frac{\left(\frac{3}{10}\right)}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}=\frac{3 \times 2}{10}=\frac{6}{10} \\ &P\left(\frac{\bar{B}}{A}\right)=\frac{3}{5} \end{aligned}
