ANSWER

P(B \: and \: C) =  \frac{1}{6}


EXPLANATION

Recall that,

P(A \: and \: B)=P(A) \times P(B)

But we were given that,

P(A)= \frac{1}{8}

and

P(A \: and \: B) =  \frac{1}{12}


We substitute these values into the above formula to obtain,


\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{8}  \times P(B)



This implies that,

\frac{1}{12}  \times 8=8 \times  \frac{1}{8}  \times P(B)



This simplifies to,

P(B) =  \frac{8}{12}


P(B) =  \frac{2}{3}


So we can now find
P(B \: and \: C).



We use the same formula again,

P(B \: and \: C) = P(B) \times P(C)
We substitute the values to get,


P(B \: and \: C) =  \frac{2}{3}  \times  \frac{1}{4}
We multiply out to get,


P(B \: and \: C) =  \frac{1}{6}
