The probabilities of three mutually exclusive events A, B and C are given by 2/3, 1/4 and 1/6 respectively. The statement
As we know that 3 events are said to be mutually exclusive events if –
P(A ∪ B ∪ C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C)
⇒ P(A ∪ B ∪ C) =
As probability can never be > 1
∴ A,B and C are not mutually exclusive events.
Statement is false
∴ Option (b) is the only correct choice.
