Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion and the other is labelled as Reason.

STATEMENT - 1 (Assertion): Let \(E_{i}(i=1,2, \ldots n)\) be n independent events such that \(P\left[\bar{E}_{i}\right]=\frac{i}{i+1}\) , 1 ≤ i ≤ n, the probability that none of the n events occur is equal to \(\frac{n}{n+1}\).

STATEMENT - 2 (Reason): If the events \(E_{1}, E_{2}, E_{3}, \ldots, E_{n}\)are independent then \(P\left[E_{1} \cap E_{2} \cap E_{3} \ldots \cap E_{n}\right]=P\left[E_{1}\right] \cdot P\left[E_{2}\right] \ldots P\left[E_{n}\right]\).

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 
  1. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  2. Both assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  3. Assertion is true and Reason is false
  4. Assertion is false and Reason is true

Answer

(D) Assertion is false and Reason is true
