Assertion Reason Type Questions

Question 13

Assertion (A): Number 1848 is divisible by 22.

Reason (R): (8 + 8) - (4 + 1) is divisible by 11.

  1. A is true, R is false.

  2. A is false, R is true.

  3. Both A and R are true.

  4. Both A and R are false.

Answer

A number is divisible by 22 if it is divisible by both 2 and 11.

1848 has 8 (an even number) at its unit place, so it is divisible by 2.

For 1848, the sum of digits in odd places = 8 + 8 = 16 and the sum of digits in even places = 4 + 1 = 5.

The difference = (8 + 8) - (4 + 1) = 16 - 5 = 11, which is divisible by 11.

So, 1848 is divisible by 11, and hence by 22.

So, assertion (A) is true.

Also, (8 + 8) - (4 + 1) = 11, which is divisible by 11.

So, reason (R) is true.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

Question 14

Assertion (A): 10 and 11 are co-prime numbers.

Reason (R): Two numbers are co-prime if their greatest common divisor is 1.

  1. A is true, R is false.

  2. A is false, R is true.

  3. Both A and R are true.

  4. Both A and R are false.

Answer

10 = 2 × 5 and 11 = 11.

Since 10 and 11 have no common factor other than 1, their greatest common divisor (H.C.F.) is 1.

So, 10 and 11 are co-prime numbers.

So, assertion (A) is true.

Two numbers are co-prime if their greatest common divisor is 1.

So, reason (R) is true.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
