Assertion (A) : In the following table, p and q are in direct variation.

p324
q8126

Reason (R) : If two quantities p and q are in direct variation, then pq\dfrac{p}{q} is always constant.

  1. Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation for A.

  2. Both A and R are correct, and R is not the correct explanation for A.

  3. A is true, but R is false.

  4. A is false, but R is true.

Answer

If two numbers p and q are in direct variation, then pq\dfrac{p}{q} will be constant.

So, reason is true.

For table,

p1q1=38p2q2=212=16p3q3=46=23\Rightarrow \dfrac{p1}{q1} = \dfrac{3}{8} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{p2}{q2} = \dfrac{2}{12} = \dfrac{1}{6} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{p3}{q3} = \dfrac{4}{6} = \dfrac{2}{3} \\[1em]

p1q1;p2q2;p3q3\dfrac{p1}{q1} \ne; \dfrac{p2}{q2} \ne; \dfrac{p3}{q3}

So, assertion (A) is false.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
