The probability of drawing a black card or a king from a deck is \(\frac{28}{52} = \frac{7}{13}\), but if calculated as \(26 + 4 = 30\), it gives \(\frac{30}{52}\).
Reason (R)
Black cards include \(2\) black kings, so adding \(26 + 4\) double counts \(2\) black kings. Favorable cards \(= 26 + 2 = 28 \implies P = \frac{28}{52} = \frac{7}{13}\).
(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
(B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
(C) Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
(D) Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
Correct Option: (D)
Assertion (A) claims \(\frac{30}{52}\) without correction is correct, which is false. Reason (R) gives the true double-counting correction.
Correct Answer: (D)
Assertion false; Reason true.
Q11Assertion-Reason

(D) Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
Correct Option: (C)
Assertion (A) is true (\(26/52 = 1/2\)). Reason (R) is false because there are \(26\) red cards (\(13\) Hearts \(+\) \(13\) Diamonds), not \(13\).
Correct Answer: (C)
Assertion true; Reason false.
