Assertion (A) : The image of a point A(5, 6) under an anticlockwise rotation of 90°, about the origin is A'(-6, 5).

Reason (R) : When a point P is rotated through 90° clockwise direction about the origin, then abscissa of the given point becomes the ordinate with opposite sign of the resultant point and the ordinate of the given point becomes the abscissa of the resultant point.

  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

A 90° anticlockwise rotation about the origin transforms a point (x, y) to (-y, x).

The image of the point (5, 6) after a 90° anticlockwise rotation about the origin is (-6, 5).

So, assertion (A) is true.

We know that,

When a point P(x, y) is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin, then the image is (y, -x).

So, reason (R) is true.

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

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
