Let A and B be two events such that \(P(\overline{A \cup B})=\frac{1}{6}, P(A \cap B)=\frac{1}{4}\) and
\(\mathrm{P}(\overline{\mathrm{~A}})=\frac{1}{4},\) where \(\overline{\mathrm{A}}\) stands for the complement of the event A. Then the events A and B are :
  1. independent and equally likely
  2. mutually exclusive and independent
  3. equally likely but not independent
  4. independent but not equally likely
