Assertion (A): Distance of (x2 - 7x + 12) km is covered in (x2 - 16) hrs.

Speed = x27x+12x216\dfrac{x^2 - 7x + 12}{x^2 - 16} km/hr

Reason (R): Speed = Distance x Time

= (x2 - 7x + 12)(x2 - 16) km/hr

  1. A is true, but R is false.

  2. A is false, but R is true.

  3. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.

  4. Both A and R are true, and R is the incorrect reason for A.

Answer

Given,

Distance = (x2 - 7x + 12) km

Time = (x2 - 16) hrs

By formula,

Speed = DistanceTime\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

= x27x+12x216\dfrac{x^2 - 7x + 12}{x^2 - 16} km/hr

∴ A is true, but R is false.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
