The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion (A) The assertion states: "If A ⊆ B and B ⊆ A, then P(A) = P(B)." - If A is a subset of B (A ⊆ B) and B is a subset of A (B ⊆ A), this implies that A and B contain exactly the same elements. Therefore, we can conclude that A = B. - Since A and B are equal sets, their probabilities must also be equal. Thus, P(A) = P(B). **Conclusion for Assertion (A)**: True. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason (R) The reason states: "If A ⊆ B, then P(bar(A)) ≤ P(bar(B))." - Here, "bar(A)" refers to the complement of A, which is the set of outcomes not in A. - The theorem states that if A is a subset of B (A ⊆ B), then the probability of A is less than or equal to the probability of B, i.e., P(A) ≤ P(B). - The complement rule states that P(bar(A)) = 1 - P(A) and P(bar(B)) = 1 - P(B). - If A ⊆ B, then it follows that P(A) ≤ P(B), which implies that P(bar(A)) ≥ P(bar(B)). Therefore, the statement P(bar(A)) ≤ P(bar(B)) is incorrect. **Conclusion for Reason (R)**: False. ### Final Conclusion - Assertion (A) is true: P(A) = P(B) when A ⊆ B and B ⊆ A. - Reason (R) is false: The correct statement is P(bar(A)) ≥ P(bar(B)) if A ⊆ B. ### Summary - Assertion (A): True - Reason (R): False ---
