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.
