(b) 3 events which are mutually exhaustive and exclusive.

(c) 2 events, which are not mutually exclusive.

(d) 2 events which are mutually exclusive but not exhaustive.

(e) 3 events which are mutually exclusive but not exhaustive.

An experiment consists of throwing up of a dice and includes events A,B and C:
