Question 21

Suppose L = {p, q, r, s, t} is a lattice represented by the following Hasse diagram:

For any x, y ∈ L, not necessarily distinct, x ∨ y and x ∧ y are join and meet of x, y respectively. Let L3 = {(x,y,z): x, y, z ∈ L} be the set of all ordered triplets of the elements of L. Let pr be the probability that an element (x,y,z) ∈ L3 chosen equiprobably satisfies x ∨ (y ∧ z) = (x ∨ y) ∧ (x ∨ z). Then

A
pr = 0
B
pr = 1
C
0 < pr ≤ 1/5
D
1/5 < pr < 1
Question 21 Explanation: 
Total number of elements i.e., ordered triplets (x,y,z) in L3 are 5×5×5 i.e., 125 n(s) = 125

Let A be the event that an element (x,y,z)∈ L3 satisfies x ∨(y∧z) = (x∨y) ∧ (x∨z)
Since q∨(r∧s) = q∨p = q
and (q∨r)∧(q∨s) = t∧t = t q∨(r∧s) ≠ (q∨r)∧(q∨s)
Therefore, (x,y,z) = (q,r,s),(q,s,r),(r,q,s),(r,s,q),(s,r,q),(s,q,r)
i.e., 3! = 6 elements will not satisfy distributive law and all other (x,y,z) choices satisfy distributive law
n(A) = 125-6 = 119
∴ required probability is 119/125
⇒ 1/5<pr<1
</pr
Correct Answer: D
Question 21 Explanation: 
Total number of elements i.e., ordered triplets (x,y,z) in L3 are 5×5×5 i.e., 125 n(s) = 125

Let A be the event that an element (x,y,z)∈ L3 satisfies x ∨(y∧z) = (x∨y) ∧ (x∨z)
Since q∨(r∧s) = q∨p = q
and (q∨r)∧(q∨s) = t∧t = t q∨(r∧s) ≠ (q∨r)∧(q∨s)
Therefore, (x,y,z) = (q,r,s),(q,s,r),(r,q,s),(r,s,q),(s,r,q),(s,q,r)
i.e., 3! = 6 elements will not satisfy distributive law and all other (x,y,z) choices satisfy distributive law
n(A) = 125-6 = 119
∴ required probability is 119/125
⇒ 1/5<pr<1
