b) both Assertion and Reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for
assertion.
c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
d) Assertion is false but Reason is true.

i) Assertion (A): If a pair of dice is thrown once, then the probability of getting a
sum of 8 is 5/36.
Reason (R): In a simultaneous toss of two coins, the probability of getting
exactly one head is 1/2.
ii)Assertion (A): The probability of an event that cannot happen or which is impossible,
is equal to zero.
Reason (R): The probability lies between 0 and 1. Hence, it cannot be negative
iii)) Assertion (A): 123 = 100 × 1 + 10 × 2 + 1 × 3
Reason (R): For a 3-digit number abc, ‘a’ can take any value from 0 and 9.
