- The given answer to this question is (2)
- Relevant Equations
- NA
Here (A) is a product of recombination between a-&-b, (B) is a product of recombination between b-&-c and (C) a parent
1. If 1000 is the total number of progenies, then 10% of it is 100 (A), 5% is 50 (B) and the rest should be <850 because the other parent has not been included. So I reject 1.
2. Here the total is 500, maybe they have considered the other P to be 500.
3. Not possible because for the given total (B) cannot be more than 50.
4. Similarly, it cannot be 425 either.
So I have to go back to 2. if we take to total population as 500, it is correct, but the total pop is not 500?!
I'm very confused about the concept, please guide me. Also, tell me if there's a simpler or shorter way to arrive at the correct answer.
