Assertion (A): (2x - 3y, 8) = (2, x + 2y)

⇒ x = 1 and y = -2

Reason (R): 2x - 3y = 2 and 8 = x + 2y

  1. A is true, but R is false.

  2. A is false, but R is true.

  3. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.

  4. Both A and R are true, and R is the incorrect reason for A.

Answer

Given, (2x - 3y, 8) = (2, x + 2y)

Thus,

2x - 3y = 2 ……..(1)

x + 2y = 8 ……..(2)

So, reason (R) is true.

Multiplying equation (2) by 2, we get :

⇒ 2(x + 2y) = 2 × 8

⇒ 2x + 4y = 16 ……..(3)

Subtracting equation (1) from (3), we get :

⇒ 2x + 4y - (2x - 3y) = 16 - 2

⇒ 2x - 2x + 4y + 3y = 14

⇒ 7y = 14

⇒ y = 147\dfrac{14}{7} = 2.

Substituting the value y = 2 in first equation,

⇒ 2x - 3 x 2 = 2

⇒ 2x - 6 = 2

⇒ 2x = 2 + 6

⇒ 2x = 8

⇒ x = 82\dfrac{8}{2} = 4.

Hence, the value of x = 4 and y = 2.

∴ A is false, but R is true.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
