Question : 19 of 20
Marks: +1, -0
Two statements are given, one labelled Assertion (A) and other labelled Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : In an experiment of throwing an unbiased die, the probability of getting a prime number given that number appearing on the die being odd is 23.
Reason (R) : For any two events A and B,P(AB)=P(AB)P(B).
Select the correct answer from the options (A), (B), (C) and (D) as given below.
Solution:  
Here, we define event
A = Getting a prime number on die.
B = Getting an odd number on die.
Given that number appearing on the die is odd, so we need to calculate probability that number is prime too.
Prime number on die = 2, 3, 5
P(A)=36=12
Odd number on die =1,3,5
P(B)=36=12
AB={3,5}
P(AB)=26=13
P(AB)=P(AB)P(B)=1312=23.
So assertion is true.
In reason, given that P(AB)=P(AB)P(B), which is wrong statement, as
P(AB)=P(AB)P(B)
