Assertion (A) : 759 = 100 x 7 + 10 x 5 + 1 x 9.

Reason (R) : In a three-digit number 100p + 10q + 1r, the digit p at hundred's place is any whole number from 0 to 9, the digit q at ten's place is any whole number from 0 to 9 and the digit r at unit place is any whole number from 0 to 9.

  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

Given,

759 = 100 x 7 + 10 x 5 + 1 x 9

Solving R.H.S. of the above equation, we get :

⇒ 100 x 7 + 10 x 5 + 1 x 9

⇒ 700 + 50 + 9

⇒ 759

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

So, assertion (A) is true.

In a three-digit number 100p + 10q + 1r,

q and r can be 0 but p cannot be equal to 0 for 3-digit number.

So, reason (R) is false.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
