Nuclear reactions induced by muon neutrinos with energies from 0.2 to 1.5 GeV in the Monte Carlo calculationframework in the intranuclear cascade model are studied. This study was done by comparing the availableexperimental data and theoretical values of total cross section, and the energy distribution of emitted lepton energyin the reaction muon neutrino nucleus, using the targets 12C, 16O, 27Al, 40Ar, 56Fe, and 208Pb. A phenomenologicalmodel of primary neutrino-nucleon interaction gives good agreement between our theoretical inclusive neutrinonucleus cross section and the available experimental data. Some interesting results on the behavior of the crosssection as function of 1p-1n and higher contributions are also sketched. The previous results on the fraction offake events in available experiments in 12C were expanded for the set of studied nuclei. With the increase of masstargets, the nuclear effects in the cross sections were observed and the importance of taking into account fakeevents in the reactions was noted
