Two dice are thrown independently. Let AA be the event that the number appeared on the 1st{1}^{st} die is less than the number appeared on the 2nd{2}^{nd} die, BB be the event that the number appeared on the 1st{1}^{st} die is even and that on the second die is odd, and CC be the event that the number appeared on the 1st{1}^{st} die is odd and that on the 2nd{2}^{nd} is even. Then

Options

  1. AThe number of favourable cases of the event (A∪B)∩C( A \cup B ) \cap C is 66
  2. BAA and BB& are mutually exclusive
  3. CThe number of favourable cases of the events AA, BB and CC are 15,615, 6 and 66 respectively
  4. DBB and CC& are independent

Correct answer

A. The number of favourable cases of the event (A∪B)∩C( A \cup B ) \cap C is 66

Step-by-step solution

Given, AA: No. on 1st{1}^{st }die << No. on 2nd{2}^{nd } die

A={(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,5),(4,6),(5,6)}A = \left\{(1,2) , (1,3) , (1,4) , (1,5) , (1,6) , (2,3) , (2,4) , (2,5) , (2,6) , (3,4) , (3,5) , (3,6) , (4,5) , (4,6) , (5,6)\right\}

∴n(A)=15∴ n ( A ) = 15

BB: No. on 1st{1}^{st } die =even No. of 2nd{2}^{nd } die = odd

B={(2,1),(2,3),(2,5),(4,1),(4,3),(4,5),(6,1),(6,3),(6,5)}B = \left\{(2,1) , (2,3) , (2,5) , (4,1) , (4,3) , (4,5) , (6,1) , (6,3) , (6,5)\right\}

∴n(B)=9∴ n ( B ) = 9

C:C: No. on 1st{1}^{st } die =odd No. on 2nd{2}^{nd } die =even

C={(1,2),(1,4),(1,6),(1,2),(1,4),(1,6),(5,2),(5,4),(5,6)}C = \left\{(1,2) , (1,4) , (1,6) , (1,2) , (1,4) , (1,6) , (5,2) , (5,4) , (5,6)\right\}

∴n(C)=9∴ n ( C ) = 9

Now,
n(A∩B)=3,n(A∩C)=6,n(B∩C)=0n ( A \cap B ) = 3, n ( A \cap C ) = 6, n ( B \cap C ) = 0

n(A∩B∩C)=0n ( A \cap B \cap C ) = 0

Since (4,5)∈A(4,5) \in A and (4,5)∈B(4,5) \in B

∴A∴ A and BB are not exclusive events

Now,

n((A∪B)∩C)=n(A∩C)+n(B∩C)−n(A∩B∩C)n ( ( A \cup B ) \cap C ) = n ( A \cap C ) + n ( B \cap C ) - n ( A \cap B \cap C )

=6= 6

Since, P(B)=936,P(C)=936,P(B∩C)=0P ( B ) = \dfrac{9}{36}, P ( C ) = \dfrac{9}{36}, P ( B \cap C ) = 0

⇒P(B).P(C)≠P(B∩C)⇒ P ( B ). P ( C ) \ne P ( B \cap C )

∴B∴ B and CC& are not independent
