Assertion (A) : In the following table, p and q are in inverse variation.
| p | 5 | 2 | 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | 10 | 25 | 12.5 |
Reason (R) : If two quantities p and q are in inverse variation, then is always constant.
Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation for A.
Both A and R are correct, and R is not the correct explanation for A.
A is true, but R is false.

Answer
We know that,
For two numbers to be in inverse variation,
p x q = constant
So, reason (R) is false.
From table,
So, assertion (A) is true.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
