Reading books is just one aspect of learning. This is an exercise in information gathering. It is how your brain processes the information that affects the degree of learning. The first and the foremost criteria to become a genius in one’s chosen field is to have great curiosity and unending hunger to discover more. Next criteria is a good sense of observation which helps you to correlate your findings with what you see or experience in the real world. Experiments are must to test your findings against possible variables and in real life situations. And last, but not the least criteria is an urge to work really hard on your area of interest.

Read the following passage and answer the question The results of a random experiment is known as an outcome. The set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment is called the sample space. It is denoted by S. The outcomes satisfying particular condition are called favourable outcomes. A set of favourable outcomes is called an event. Event is a subset of the sample space. There are different types of events. (a) An event consisting of only one sample point is called an ememtntary event. (b) An event which does not contain any sample point is called an impossible event. How many outcomes are there in a random experiment of tossing two coins simultaneously? What are they ?
