Assertion (A) : Let A = {factors of 12} and B = {factors of 16}. Then B - A = {8, 16}

Reason (R) : B - A = {x | x ∈ A, but x ∉ B}.

  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 = {factors of 12}

⇒ A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}

⇒ B = {factors of 16}

⇒ B = {1, 2, 4, 8, 16}

Set B - A contains all the elements that are in set B but not in set A.

⇒ B - A = {x | x ∈ B, but x ∉ A}

So, reason (R) is false.

⇒ B - A = {8, 16}

So, assertion (A) is true.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
