Assertion (A): a(2x - 3y) + b(3y - 2x)2 = a(2x - 3y) - b(2x - 3y)2

Reason (R): +b(3y - 2x)2 is not equal to -b(2x - 3y)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

L.H.S.

= a(2x - 3y) + b(3y - 2x)2

= 2xa - 3ya + b(9y2 + 4x2 - 12xy)

= 2xa - 3ya + 9y2b + 4x2b - 12xyb

R.H.S.

= a(2x - 3y) - b(2x - 3y)2

= 2xa - 3ya - b(4x2 + 9y2 - 12xy)

= 2xa - 3ya - 4x2b - 9y2b + 12xyb

L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.

Assertion (A) is false.

Taking L.H.S.

= +b(3y - 2x)2

= b(9y2 + 4x2 - 12xy)

= 9y2b + 4x2b - 12xyb

R.H.S.

= -b(2x - 3y)2

= -b(4x2 + 9y2 - 12xy)

= -4x2b - 9y2b + 12xyb

L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.

Reason (R) is true.

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