Answer
A standard die has six faces, numbered 1 to 6.
The term "first whole number" typically refers to 0, which is indeed one of the impossible outcomes when a die is thrown.
Therefore, the event of getting the first whole number (i.e., 0) is a impossible event.
So, assertion (A) is true.
For any event A,
0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1, not 0 < P(A) < 1.
Thus, the probability of an event always lies between 0 and 1, including 0 and 1 as well.
So, reason (R) is false.
∴ A is true, but R is false.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
