Complementary Bernoulli variables

Let (Ω,F,P)(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, P) be a probability space, where for A⊂ΩA \subset \Omega, A≠∅A \ne \varnothing, A≠ΩA \ne \Omega, F={Ω,∅,A,Ac}\mathcal{F} = \{\Omega, \varnothing, A, A^c\}, and P(Ω)=1P(\Omega) = 1, P(∅)=0P(\varnothing) = 0, P(A)=1/2=P(Ac)P(A) = 1/2 = P(A^c). Let XX and YY be two random variables defined on Ω\Omega as follows: X(ω)=1X(\omega) = 1 if ω∈A\omega \in A, 00 if ω∈Ac\omega \in A^c, and Y(ω)=1Y(\omega) = 1 if ω∈Ac\omega \in A^c, 00 if ω∈A\omega \in A. Then which of the following statements is correct?
