Question

Assertion (A): An event is very likely to happen if its probability is 0.99.

Reason (R): Probability of a sure event is always 1.

Options

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

Step 1 – Assertion: A is true. A probability of 0.99 is close to 1, so the event is very likely to happen.

Step 2 – Reason: R is true. The probability of a sure event is 1.

Step 3 – Link: R states the probability of a sure event, but does not explain why an event with probability 0.99 is very likely.
