Consider the following statements:
Assertion $(A)$: If $P_1, P_2, P_3$ are probabilities of occurrence of three independent events,then the probability of occurrence of at least one of them is $1 - [(1 - P_1)(1 - P_2)(1 - P_3)]$.
Reason $(R)$: For any three independent events $A, B$,and $C$,$P(A \cup B \cup C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A)P(B) - P(A)P(C) - P(B)P(C) + P(A)P(B)P(C)$.
The correct option among the following is:

  • A
    $(A)$ is true,$(R)$ is true,and $(R)$ is the correct explanation for $(A)$
  • B
    $(A)$ is true,$(R)$ is true,but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation for $(A)$
  • C
    $(A)$ is true,but $(R)$ is false
  • D
    $(A)$ is false,but $(R)$ is true

An unbiased coin is tossed. If the result is a head,a pair of unbiased dice is rolled and the sum of the numbers on the two faces is noted. If the result is a tail,a card from a well-shuffled pack of eleven cards numbered $2, 3, 4, \dots, 12$ is picked and the number on the card is noted. The probability that the noted number is either $7$ or $8$ is:
