    Directions: Each of these questions contains an Assertion followed by Reason. Read them carefully and answer the question on the basis of following options.
    You have to select the one that best describes the two statements.
    Assertion When two coins are tossed simultaneously then the probability of getting no tail is \[\frac{1}{4}\].
    Reason The probability of getting a head (i.e., no tail) in one toss of a coin is \[\frac{1}{2}\].

    A) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

    B) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

    C) If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

    D) If Assertion is false but Reason is true.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Probability of getting no tail when two coins tossed simultaneously i.e., both are head. Probability of both head \[=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}\] Hence, both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
