A Getting a head or a tail in a toss of a coin.
B Getting a '1' or getting a '6' in a single throw of a die.
D Drawing a 'red card' or drawing a 'spade' from a pack of 52 cards.
Mutually exclusive events are those events in which the occurence of one event prevents the occurance of the other event.
Getting a head and a tail cannot occur at the same time.
Getting a '1' or a '6' also cannot occur at the same time.
A king can also be a red card so both the events can happen together.
Drawing a red card and a spade cannot happen at the same time.
