A : An even number turns up.
B : A prime number turns up.
These events are

• A. Equally likely events
• B. Mutually exclusive events
• C. Exhaustive events
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Equally likely events

For given toss of die, set of outcomes are { 1,2,3,4,5,6 }
$\Rightarrow$ number of outcomes$=6$
Set of Outcomes of Even numbers are {2,4,6}
$\Rightarrow$ no.of outcomes$=3$
Set of Outcomes of Prime numbers are {2,3,5}
$\Rightarrow$ no.of outcomes$=3$
Since no.of outcomes are same,Given two sets are equally likely events
