Assertion (A) : 2024x2yz is not a trinomial.
Reason (R) : For combining polynomials, the like terms of the given polynomials are combined together.
Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation for A.
Both A and R are correct, and R is not the correct explanation for A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false, but R is true.
Answer
A trinomial is an algebraic expression with exactly three terms.
Here, 2024x²yz is just a single term — a monomial.
Thus, the statement that it's not a trinomial is correct.
So, assertion (A) is true.
For combining polynomials, the like terms of the given polynomials are combined together.
Like terms are terms with the same variables raised to the same powers.
When combining polynomials, you add or subtract like terms.
So, reason (R) is true but, reason (R) does not explains assertion(A).
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
