Answer
Given, the probability of Sania winning the match = 0.79.
As we know that the sum of probabilities of two complementary event is 1.
⇒ P(Sania wins) + P(Ashma wins) = 1
∴ Reason (R) is true.
⇒ 0.79 + P(Ashma wins) = 1
⇒ P(Ashma wins) = 1 - P(Sania wins)
⇒ P(Ashma wins) = 1 - 0.79
⇒ P(Ashma wins) = 0.21
∴ Assertion (A) is true.
∴ Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is the correct reason for Assertion (A).
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
