The classical Borel-Cantelli Lemma states that for any sequence of \\(\\mu\\)-measurable sets \\(E_{i}\\) \\((i=1,2,3,\\dots)\\), if the sum of their measures converges then the corresponding lim sup set \\(E_\\infty\\) is of measure zero. In general the converse statement is false. However, it is well known that the divergence counterpart is true under various additional independence hypotheses. In this work authors revisit these hypotheses and establish both sufficient and necessary conditions for \\(E_\\infty\\) to have either positive or full measure based on the following lemmas: Convergence Borel-Cantelli Lemma.
