D
None of the above is correct.
If two events A and B are independent, then we know that
$\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\text{P}(\text{A})\cdot\text{P}(\text{B}),\text{P}(\text{A})\neq0,\text{P}(\text{B})\neq0$
Since, A and B have a common outcome.
Further, mutually exclusive events never have a common outcome.
In other words, two independents events having non-zero probabilities of occurrence cannot be mutually exclusive and conversely, i.e., two mutually exclusive events having non-zero probabilities of outcome cannot be independent.

Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
If $\text{P}(\text{A})=\frac{4}{5},$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\frac{7}{10},$ then $\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{B}}{\text{A}}\Big)$ is equal to:

If $\text{P}(\text{A})=\frac{3}{10},\text{P}(\text{B})=\frac{2}{5}$ and $\text{P}(\text{A}\cup\text{B})=\frac{3}{5},$ then $\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{B}}{\text{A}}\Big)+\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)$ equas:
If one ball is drawn ar random from each of three boxes containing $3$ white and $1$ black, $2$ white and $2$ black, $1$ white and $3$ black balls, then the probability that $2$ white and $1$ black balls will be drawn is.
