Assertion (A): 5x5 - 20x3 in the form of factors is 5x3(x2 - 4).

Reason (R):

5x5 - 20x3
= 5x3(x2 - 4)
= 5x3(x + 2)(x - 2).

  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

A is false, R is true.

Explanation

Given,

5x5 - 20x3

= 5x3(x2 - 4)

= 5x3(x2 - 22)

= 5x3(x - 2)(x + 2)

5x5 - 20x3 in the form of factors is 5x3(x - 2)(x + 2).

Hence, Assertion (A) is false, Reason (R) is true.
