Assertion (A): The probability of getting a number greater than 6 on throwing a die is 1\over6.
Reason (R): The possible outcomes on throwing a die are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
(a) A is true and R is false.
(b) A is false and R is true.
(c) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(d) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(b) A is false and R is true.
Explanation:
The possible outcomes on throwing a die are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Therefore, the reason is true.
There is no outcome greater than 6.
Probability of getting a number greater than 6 = 0\over6 = 0.
Therefore, the assertion is false.
