Pankaj:
"The probability of hitting the target is very small."
Lakshya:
The probability is
because the target will either be hit or missed and the result is 1 of these 2 observations."

Pankaj is correct because Lakshya's statement have no sense because Probability of hitting a target is calculated by area, not with hitting or missing.
If Lakshya's statement is correct then every event will have Probability half, because it will occur or not occur.
