    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 If a die is thrown, the probability of getting a number less than 3 and greater than 2 is zero.
    Reason Probability of an impossible event is zero.

    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: A

    Solution :

    Now, where dice is thrown the possible outcomes are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, Now, if you see the outcomes getting a number greater than "2" and less than "3" is impossible \[\therefore \]Probability is zero The probability of an impossible event' ='0' Hence, both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
