Solution

The probability of an event occurring is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each independent event. In this case, the probability of appointing a person as a lecturer who is a qualified B.Tech., M.Tech. and Ph. D is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each qualification.

Step 1: Identify the probabilities of each qualification. B.Tech = 1/4 M.Tech = 1/8 Ph.D = 1/15

Step 2: Multiply the probabilities together. (1/4) * (1/8) * (1/15) = 0.0002083333

So, the probability of appointing a person as a lecturer who is a qualified B.Tech., M.Tech. and Ph. D is approximately 0.0002083333.

Looking at the options provided, the closest answer is B. 0.0021.
