Step-by-Step Solution

We are given P(A) = 4/5 and P(A ∩ B) = 7/10.

We need to find P(B/A), which is the conditional probability of B given A.

The formula for conditional probability is: P(B/A) = P(A ∩ B) / P(A)

Substituting the given values, we get: P(B/A) = (7/10) / (4/5)

P(B/A) = (7/10) * (5/4) = 35/40 = 7/8

Correct Answer: 7/8
