MCQ
Assertion (A) : The matrix $\left(\begin{array}{llll}1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 & 0\end{array}\right)$ is a diagonal matrix.
Reason (R) : $A=\left(a_{i j}\right)_{m \times m}$ is a square matrix such that entry $a_{i j}=0 \forall i, j$, then $A$ is called diagonal matrix.
  • A
    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • B
    Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  • C
    (A) is true but (R) is false.
  • (A) is false but (R) is true.

Answer

Correct option: D.
(A) is false but (R) is true.
(d) : The given matrix having order $3 \times 4$.
$\therefore \quad$ Given matrix is not a square matrix. Diagonal exist only in the square matrix.
$\therefore \quad$ Assertion is false.
On the other side, Reason satisfies the condition of diagonal matrix.
$\therefore \quad$ Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Assertion (A) : An urn contains 5 red and 5 black balls. A ball is drawn at random, its colour is noted and is returned to the urn. Moreover, 2 additional balls of the colour drawn are put in the urn and then a ball is drawn at random. Then, the probability that the second ball is red is $\frac{1}{2}$.
Reason (R) : By Bayes' Theorem
$
\begin{array}{r}
P\left(E_1 \mid E\right)=\frac{P\left(E \mid E_1\right) P\left(E_1\right)}{P\left(E_1\right) P\left(E \mid E_1\right)+P\left(E_2\right) P\left(E \mid E_2\right)+P\left(E_3\right) P\left(E \mid E_3\right)}
