Correct Answer - D We find that P(E1)= 6 36 ,P(E2)= 6 36 = 1 6 , P(E3)= 1 2 ,P(E1∩E2)= 1 36 ,P(E2∩E3)= 3 36 = 1 12 , P(E1∩E3)= 3 36 = 1 12 and P(E1∩E2∩E3)=0 Clearly, P(E1∩E2)=P(E1)P(E2)⇒E1,E2 are independent P(E1∩E3)=P(E1)P(E3)⇒E1,E3 are independent But, P(E1∩E2∩E3)≠P(E1)P(E2)P(E3) ⇒E1,E2,E3 are not independent Thus, option (d) is incorrect.
