Assertion (A): The cost of manufacturing x identical articles is ₹ 5(30 + x) and their selling price is ₹ 8x. The number of these articles manufactured and sold to break even is 50.

Reason (R):

5(30 + x) = 8x
150 + 5x = 8x ⇒ x = 50

  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

Both A and R are true.

Explanation

Number of articles = x

C.P. = ₹ 5(30 + x)

S.P. = ₹ 8x

To break even : C.P. = S.P.

⇒ 5(30 + x) = 8x

⇒ 150 + 5x = 8x

⇒ 8x - 5x = 150

⇒ 3x = 150

⇒ x = 1503\dfrac{150}{3}

⇒ x = 50

∴ Assertion (A) is true.

From the above calculation ⇒ x = 50.

∴ Reason (R) is true.

Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true.
