Question

Assertion (A): \[\frac{7}{0.01}\] cannot be the probability of occurrence of an event.

Reason (R): The probability of an impossible event is 0.

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. \[\frac{7}{0.01} = 700\] and a probability cannot exceed 1.

Step 2 – Reason: R is true. The probability of an impossible event is 0.

Step 3 – Link: R is a true fact about impossible events, but it does not explain why the value in A cannot be a probability.
