Correct Answer - B::C::D Since, E and F are independent events. Therefore, `P(E nn F) = P(E) * P(F) ne 0`, so E and F are not mutually exclusive events. Now, `P(E nn bar(F)) = P(E) - P(E nn F) = P(E) - P(E) * P(F)` `=P(E) [1-P(F)] = P(E) * P(bar(F))` and `P(bar(E) nn bar(F)) = P(bar(E nn F)) = 1-P(E uu F)` ` = 1-[1-P(bar(E) * P(bar(F))] [because E " and F are independent"]` ` =P(bar(E)) * P(bar(F))` So, E and `bar(F)` as well as `bar(E)` and `bar(F)` are independent events. Now, `P(E//F) + P(bar(E) //F) = (P(E nn F) + P(bar(E) nn F))/(P(F))` `= (P(F))/(P(FF)) = 1`
