Question

In the following question, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion: If a box contains 𝟓 white, 𝟐 red and 4 black marbles, then the probability drawing a white marble from the box is 𝟓/𝟏𝟏.
Reason: 𝟎≤𝑷(𝑬)≤𝟏, where 𝐸 is any event.

• A. Assertion and Reason both are correct statements but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  
• B. Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  
• C. Assertion is correct statement but Reason is wrong statement.
  
• D. Assertion is wrong statement but Reason is correct statement.
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A Assertion and Reason both are correct statements but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.


Assertion is correct as the total number of balls are 11 and the number of white balls are 5. This implies that the probability of drawing a white marble from the box is 5/11.
Reasoning statement: 𝟎 ≤ 𝑷(𝑬) ≤ 𝟏, where 𝐸 is any event; is true, since the probability of any event lies between zero and one.
But the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Hemce option b is correct.
