Assertion (A) : (-100)3 = -10,00,000

Reason (R) : (-p)q = pq; if q is even.

  1. Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation for A.

  2. Both A and R are correct, and R is not the correct explanation for A.

  3. A is true, but R is false.

  4. A is false, but R is true.

Answer

According to assertion : (-100)3 = -10,00,000

Solving L.H.S.,

⇒ (-100)3

⇒ (-100) x (-100) x (-100)

⇒ -10,00,000

As, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

So, assertion (A) is true.

We know that,

(-p)q = pq; if q is even because the negative sign is raised to an even power and thus becomes positive.

So, reason (R) is true but reason does not explains assertion.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
