Answer
On the faces of a die, numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Out of which 2, 3 and 5 are only prime numbers.
∴ Reason (R) is true.
Number of favourable outcomes (of getting prime number) = 3
Number of possible outcomes = 6
P(getting a prime number) =
∴ Assertion (A) is false.
∴ Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
