(i) The sample space is S = {(Samosa, Chai), (Samosa, Lassi), (Pakora, Chai), (Pakora, Lassi), (Bhaji, Chai), (Bhaji, Lassi)}, giving 6 outcomes.
(ii) The event selecting Samosa is E = {(Samosa, Chai), (Samosa, Lassi)}.

Given snacks: {Samosa, Pakora, Bhaji} and drinks: {Chai, Lassi}.
(i) The sample space S contains all pairs combining one snack with one drink:
S = {(Samosa, Chai), (Samosa, Lassi), (Pakora, Chai), (Pakora, Lassi), (Bhaji, Chai), (Bhaji, Lassi)}.
The sample size is n(S) = 3 x 2 = 6 combinations.
(ii) The event E representing ‘Selecting Samosa as a snack’ contains only pairs with Samosa:
E = {(Samosa, Chai), (Samosa, Lassi)}
