Assertion (A) : If we add 9 with 49x2 - 42x, the resultant expression will be a perfect square expression.

Reason (R) : The product of the sum and difference of the same two terms = Difference of their squares.

  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: 49x2 - 42x

Adding 9 in it the term the expression becomes

⇒ 49x2 - 42x + 9

⇒ (7x)2 - 2 × (7x) × 3 + (3)2

⇒ (7x - 3)2

The resultant expression will be a perfect square expression.

So, assertion (A) is true.

The product of the sum and difference of the same two terms = Difference of their squares.

(a + b)(a - b) = a2 - b2

So, reason (R) is true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
