the question in essence asks us to find the probability of atleast one solving the question correctly.

atleast questions are best answered using the formula:

1- none of them solve the question.

for none to solve the question:it is the prob of 1st person not solving * 2nd person not solving *3rd person not solving.

probability of 1st person not solving = 2/3
2nd person not solving= 3/4
3rd person not solving = 1/2

2/3*3/4*1/2 =>1/4.

1-1/4 => 3/4 => D

The probability that each of them solve it wrong = 2/3 , 3/4 and 1/2
Since these are independent events chances of these happening together = 2/3*3/4*1/2 = 1/4

Since the probability that all of them getting it wrong is 1/4, probability that any of them getting it correct is 1-1/4 = 3/4
