Assertion (A): The probability of Sun rising from the west is 0.
Reason (R): The probability of an impossible event is always 0.
- (a)(A) is true, (R) is false.
- (b)(A) is false, (R) is true.
- (c)Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
- (d)Both (A) and (R) are true but, (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

The Sun rising from the west is an impossible event, so its probability is 0.
∴ Assertion (A) is true.
The probability of an impossible event is always 0.
∴ Reason (R) is true.
Also, Reason (R) correctly explains why the probability of the Sun rising from the west (an impossible event) is 0.
Thus, both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
