Probability | Part IA, 2015

Let A,BA, B be events in the sample space Ω\Omega such that 0<P(A)<10<P(A)<1 and 0<P(B)<10<P(B)<1. The event BB is said to attract AA if the conditional probability P(A∣B)P(A \mid B) is greater than P(A)P(A), otherwise it is said that AA repels BB. Show that if BB attracts AA, then AA attracts BB. Does Bc=Ω\BB^{c}=\Omega \backslash B repel A?A ?
