Mathematics

Assertion (A): For the equation 4y - 7x + 28 = 0, the value of a is -8.

x-78
ya7

Reason (R):

4y - 7x + 28 = 0
⇒ 4y + 49 + 28 = 0
⇒ y = 774\dfrac{-77}{4} i.e. a = 774-\dfrac{77}{4}

  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

A is false, R is true.

Explanation

Given,

4y - 7x + 28 = 0

When x = -7 and y = a,

4 x a - 7 x (-7) + 28 = 0

⇒ 4a + 49 + 28 = 0

⇒ 4a + 77 = 0

⇒ 4a = - 77

⇒ a = - 774\dfrac{77}{4}

According to Assertion, the value of a = -8 (≠ - 774\dfrac{77}{4})

∴ Assertion (A) is false.

From the above calculation, a = 774-\dfrac{77}{4}

∴ Reason (R) is true.

Hence, Assertion (A) is false, Reason (R) is true.
