A die is thrown. If A is the event 'the number appearing is a multiple of 3 and B is the event 'the number appearing is even', then A and B are

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

A = multiples of 3 = {3, 6}, so P(A)=26=13P(A) = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}.

B = even numbers = {2, 4, 6}, so P(B)=36=12P(B) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}.

A∩B={6}A \cap B = \{6\}, so P(A∩B)=16P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{6}.

Since P(A)⋅P(B)=13⋅12=16=P(A∩B)P(A) \cdot P(B) = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{6} = P(A \cap B), the events are independent.
