Assertion (A): A bag contains 4 red, and 8 blue marbles. If a marble is drawn at random, then the probability of drawing a red marble is .
Reason (R): Probability of an event A is given by
P(A) = .

Answer
Total number of outcomes = 4 + 8 = 12
Let E be the event of drawing a red marble.
The number of favorable outcomes of the event E = 4.
Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.
This formula is incorrect. The correct formula for probability is the reciprocal of what is stated:
Reason (R) is false.
A is true, R is false
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
