A new disease has been detected called "Farica". And it attacks only the children and old men. Its vaccine has been invented. If the vaccine is applied to a child and 4 old men, then the child and one old man survives, but the other 3 men dies. And if the vaccine is not applied to 4 children and a old man, then 3 children survives but the other child and the old man dies. So, children survives 75% if the vaccine is not applied and 100% if the vaccine is applied. So the vaccine seems profitable. And old men survives 0% if the vaccine is not applied and 25% if the vaccine is applied. Again, the vaccine seems profitable. But if we think the other way that, human survives 60% if the vaccine is not applied and 40% if the vaccine is applied. Here the vaccine seems unprofitable. So should we apply the vaccine or not???
