The results of an investigation by an expert on a fire accident are summarised below: (i) The probability that there would have been a short circuit = 0.8 (ii) The probability of LPG explosion in a cylinder = 0.2 (ii) Chance of fire accident is 30% given a short circuit and 95% given as LPG explosion. Based on these what do you think is the most probable cause of fire.
