Let $A, B, C$ be three mutually independent events. Consider the two statements ${S_1}$ and ${S_2}$

${S_1}\,\,:\,\,A$ and $B \cup C$ are independent

${S_2}\,\,:\,\,A$ and $B \cap C$ are independent

Then

  • B

    Only ${S_1}$ is true

  • C

    Only ${S_2}$ is true

  • D

    Neither ${S_1}$ nor ${S_2}$ is true
