A letter of English alphabet is chosen at random from English alphabets.
Assertion(A): The probability that the chosen letter is not a consonant is 5 : 52.
Reason(R): The probability of an event =
A is true, R is false.
A is false, R is true.

Answer
Given, there are 26 letters in the English alphabet.
There are total 5 (a, e, i, o, u) vowels.
The remaining letters are consonants, (21 consonants).
By formula,
The probability of an event =
So, reason (R) is false.
Probability that the chosen letter is not a consonant =
So, assertion (A) is false.
∴ Both A and R are false.
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
