S1 : The probability that a person visiting a zoo will see the giraffe is 0.72, the probability that he will see the bears is 0.84 and the probability that he will see both is 0.52
S2 :The probability that a student will pass his examination is 0.73, the probability of the student getting a compartment is 0.13, and the probability that the student will either pass or get compartment is 0.96.

$S1:P(G)=0.72, P(B)=0.84,$

$\because Seeing\ Girafee\ and\ Bears\ are\ Independent\ events,$

$P(G\cap B)=P(G)*P(B)=0.72*0.84=0.6$

$But\ given\ that\ P(G\cap B)=0.52$

$\therefore \ S1\ is\ Incorrect$

$S2: P(Pass)=0.73, P(C)=0.13, P(Pass\cup C)=0.96$

$P(Pass\cup C)=P(Pass)+P(C)-P(Pass\cap C)=0.73+0.13-P(Pass\cap C)$

$P(Pass\cup C)=0.86-P(Pass\cap C)$

$P(Pass\cap C)=0.86-P(Pass\cup C)$

$P(Pass\cap C)=0.86-0.96=-0.1\ which\ is\ invalid$

$\therefore S2\ is\ Incorrect$

### So Option D is correct.

Why Seeing Girafee and Bears is taken as independent events?
These events can occur at same time.
