Assertion (A): (1 - 3x)3 can be expanded as 1 - 27x3 - 9x - 27x2.
Reason (R): (a - b)3 = a3 - b3 - 3ab(a - b)

  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

Using identity,

(a - b)3 = a3 - b3 - 3ab(a - b)

So, reason (R) is true.

⇒ (1 - 3x)3 = 13 - (3x)3 - 3 × 1 × 3x (1 - 3x)

⇒ (1 - 3x)3 = 1 - 27x3 - 9x(1 - 3x)

⇒ (1 - 3x)3 = 1 - 27x3 - 9x + 27x2

So, assertion (A) is false.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
