The probability that the problem is not solved by any of them: (1 - P(A))*(1 - P(B))* (1 - P(C)) = (1 - 1/2)(1 - 3/4)(1 - 1/4) = 1/2*1/4*3/4 = 3/32 Hence, the probability that the problem will be solved is 1 - 3/32 = 29/32.

The probability that exactly one of them will solve it equals the
following sum
P(A)(1-P(B))(1-P(C))+(1-P(A))P(B)(1-P(C))+(1-P(A))(1-P(B))P(C)=1/2*1/4*3/4+1/2*3/4*3/4+1/2*1/4*1/4=3/32+9/32+1/32=13/32.
