Answer 2

The mutually exclusive events are options (a) and (c).

Option (a) represents drawing a queen or a heart from a standard deck of 52 cards. Since there are 4 queens and 13 hearts in a deck of 52 cards, there are 17 cards that satisfy the condition. However, a card cannot be both a queen and a heart at the same time, so these events are mutually exclusive.

Option (c) represents rolling a number greater than five or a number less than two on a standard six-sided die. Since the only numbers that are either greater than five or less than two are 1 and 6, these events are also mutually exclusive.
