Two dice are thrown and the sum of the numbers which come up on the dice is noted. Let us consider the following events associated with this experiment:
$A:$ the sum is even.
$B:$ the sum is a multiple of $3$.
$C:$ the sum is less than $4$.
$D:$ the sum is greater than $11$.
Which pairs of these events are mutually exclusive?

  • A
    $A$ and $B$
  • B
    $A$ and $D$
  • C
    $B$ and $D$
  • D
