Answer #1

mutually exclusive if the occurrence of any one of them implies the non-occurrence of the remaining n − 1 events.

mutually exclusive events have the property: P(AB) = 0

When A and B are mutually exclusive, P(AB) = P(A) + P(B)

If P(A) = 0.1 and P(B) = 0.1,then P(A and B) = P(AB) =0

hence its ans is A
