Answer

None of the above is correctIf two. events are independent, then.

Solution:

Let A and B are two independent events, Then,

$\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\text{P(A)}\times\text{P(B)}$

As, $\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})\neq0\text{ or }\text{P(A)}+\text{P(B)}\neq1$

So, both are neither mutually exclisive nor their sum of probability is 1.

Hence, the correct alternative is option (d).
