Answer

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation

Given:

₹1250 is divided between Dinesh and Anmol in the ratio 3 : 7.

Total parts: 3 + 7 = 10

Value of one part: 1250 ÷ 10 = 125

Shares:

Dinesh = 3 × 125 = 375

Anmol = 7 × 125 = 875

Difference: 875 − 375 = 500

So the Assertion is true.

A ratio is indeed a comparison of two quantities of the same kind, so it is a fraction and has no units. The Reason is True.

This statement is true, but it does not explain why the difference is ₹500.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
