ASSERTION AND REASONING
Each of the following examples contains Assertion (A) and Reason (R) has following four choices (a), (b), (c)
and (d), only one of which is the correct answer. Mark the correct answer.
(a)A is true, R is true; and R is correct explanation for A.
(b)A is true, R is true; R is not a correct explanation for A.
(c)A is true, R is false.
(d)A is false, R is true.
1.A: If LCM (60, 72) = 360, then HCF (60, 72) = 12.
R: HCF (a, b) x LCM (a, b) = a + b.
2.A: The product of (5 + √3) and -(2√3) is an irrational number.
R: The product of two irrational numbers is an irrational number.
3.A: HCF and LCM of two natural numbers are 25 and 815 respectively.
R: LCM of two natural numbers is always divisible by their HCF.
4.A: HCF (234, 47) = 1.
R: HCF of two co-primes is always 1.
5.A: √11 is an irrational number.
R: If p is a prime number, then √p is an irrational number.
6.Assertion: x2+7x+12 has no real zeroes.
Reason: A quadratic polynomial can have at the most two zeroes.
7.Assertion: If the sum of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2-2kx+8 is 2 then value of k is 1.
Reason: Sum of zeroes of a quadratic polynomial ax2+bx+c is -b/a
8.Assertion: If one zero of polynomial p(x) = (k2+4)x2+13x+4k is reciprocal of the other, then k=2.
Reason: If (x-a) is a factor of p(x), then p(a) = 0 i.e., a is a zero of p(x).
9.Assertion: (2 − √3) is one zero of the quadratic polynomial then other zero will be (2 + √3) .
Reason: Irrational zeroes (roots) always occurs in pairs.
10.Assertion: The graph y=f(x) is shown in figure, for the polynomial f(x). The number of zeroes of f(x) is 3.
Reason: The number of zero of the polynomial f(x) is the number of point of which f(x) cuts or touches the
axes.
