Assertion (A) : (70 + 20) (70 - 20) = 0.

Reason (R) : Any number raised to the power zero (0) is always equal to 1.

  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

Using the property:

⇒ a0 = 1 for any a ≠ 0

Thus, any number raised to the power zero (0) is always equal to 1.

So, reason (R) is true.

According to assertion : (70 + 20)(70 - 20) = 0

Solving L.H.S. of the above equation :

⇒ (70 + 20)(70 - 20)

⇒ (1 + 1)(1 - 1)

⇒ 2 x 0

⇒ 0

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

So, assertion (A) is true and reason clearly explains assertion.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
