MCQ

Events A and B are said to be mutually exclusive if:

✓
P (A U B) = P A. + P B.
B
P (A ∩ B) = P A. × P B.
C
P(A U B) = 0
D
None of these

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

P (A U B) = P A. + P B.

If A and B are mutually exclusive events,
Then P(A ∩ B) = 0
Now, by the addition theorem,
P(A U B) = PA. + PB. – P(A ∩ B)
⇒ P(A U B) = PA. + PB
