Solution

The correct option is A Independent but not equally likely
Given, P(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB)=16;P(AB)=14;P(¯A)=14
P(AB)=1P(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB)=116=56
And P(A)=1P(¯A)=114=34
P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)
56=34+P(B)14
P(B)=13 A and B are not equally likely P(AB)=P(A).P(B)=14
So, events A and B are independent.
