Assertion (A) : 5x + y2 - x3, xy + yz + zx, x2 - x + 1 are all trinomials.
Reason (R) : An algebraic expression which contains three different terms is called a trinomial.
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
An algebraic expression which contains three different terms is called a trinomial.
So, reason (R) is true.
Given, 5x + y2 - x3, xy + yz + zx, x2 - x + 1
All three expressions have three distinct terms.
So, assertion (A) is true and, reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
