ASSERTION REASONING TYPE QUESTIONS

Directions (FOR Q- 26 TO 30): Each of these questions contains two

statements,
Assertion and Reason. Each of these questions also has four
alternative choices, only one of which is the correct answer. You
have to select one of the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) given below.
(a) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is a correct explanation
for assertion.
(b) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct
explanation for assertion
(c) Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect
(d) Assertion is incorrect, reason is correct.

Q 26 Assertion : Probability of getting a head in a toss of anunbiased coin is 1

2
Reason : In a simultaneous toss of two coins, the probabilityof getting ‘no
tails’ is 1
4

Q 27 Assertion :In tossing a coin, the exhaustive number of cases is 2.

Reason :If a pair of dice is thrown, then the exhaustive number of cases is
6 X6 = 36.

Q 28 Assertion :A letter is chosen at random from the word NAGATATION.

Then, the total number of outcomes is 10.
Reason :A letter is chosen at random from the word ‘ASSASSINATION’
Then, the total number of outcomes is 13.

Q 29 Consider a single throw of die and two events.

A = the number is even = {2, 4, 6}
 B = the number is a multiple of 3 = {3, 6}
Assertion : P(A 𝖴B) = 4 = 2 and P(A ∩B) = 1
6 3 6

Reason : P(A’∩B’) = P(A𝖴B)’ = 1 – 2 = 1

3 3

Q 30 Assertion :Two dice are thrown simultaneously. There are 11 possible

outcomes and each of them has a probability 1/11.

Reason : Probability of an event (E) is defined as

Number of favourable outcome
P(E) = Total number of outcome

VERY SHORT
Q 31 The numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 are written separately on four slips of paper.
The slips are put in a box and mixed thoroughly. A person draws two slips
from the box, one after the other, without replacement. Describe the
sample space for the experiment.

Q 32 An experiment consists of rolling a die and then tossing a coin once if the
number on the die is even. If the number on the die is odd, the coin is
tossed twice. Write the sample space for this experiment

Q 33 A box contains 1 red and 3 identical white balls. Two balls are drawn at
random in succession without replacement. Write the sample space for this
experiment.
Q 34 If 3/4 is the probability of an event, what is the probability of the event
“not A‟?
