Three students $S_1, S_2$ and $S_3$ are given a problem to solve. Consider the following events:
$U:$ At least one of $S_1, S_2$ and $S_3$ can solve the problem,
$V: S_1$ can solve the problem,given that neither $S_2$ nor $S_3$ can solve the problem,
$W: S_2$ can solve the problem and $S_3$ cannot solve the problem,
$T: S_3$ can solve the problem.
For any event $E$,let $P(E)$ denote the probability of $E$.
If $P(U)=\frac{1}{2}, P(V)=\frac{1}{10}$ and $P(W)=\frac{1}{12}$,then $P(T)$ is equal to

  • A
    $\frac{13}{36}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{19}{60}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4}$
