Answer: Verified

(A) S={(Samosa,Chai),(Samosa,Lassi),(Pakora,Chai),(Pakora,Lassi),(Bhaji,Chai),(Bhaji,Lassi)}S = \{(\text{Samosa}, \text{Chai}), (\text{Samosa}, \text{Lassi}), (\text{Pakora}, \text{Chai}), (\text{Pakora}, \text{Lassi}), (\text{Bhaji}, \text{Chai}), (\text{Bhaji}, \text{Lassi})\}.

n(S)=3×2=6n(S) = 3 \times 2 = 6 .

(B) E={(Samosa,Chai),(Samosa,Lassi)}E = \{(Samosa, Chai), (Samosa, Lassi)\} .

n(E)=2n(E) = 2 .

P(Samosa)=26=13P(\text{Samosa}) = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}
