Assertion: If we divide ₹ 1250 between Dinesh and Anmol in the ratio 3 : 7, then the difference between their shares is ₹ 500.
Reason: Ratio is a fraction. It has no units.
- Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
- Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
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.
