Solution

The correct option is A

13p12


Step-1: Express the given data.

1+3p3,1-p4,1-2p2are the probability of the three events.

01+3p31,01-p41,01-2p21.

01+3p3, 01-p4, 01-2p2.

-13p23, -3p1, -12p12.

Step-2: Apply condition for mutually exclusive.

01+3p3+1-p4+1-2p21

041+3p+31-p+61-2p121

0-3p+13121

0-3p+1312

13p133

Therefore, minimum value -13,-3,-12,13 and maximum value 23,1,12,133.

Thus, 13p12

Hence, correct answer is option A
