Assertion: Let P = {x : x is a factor of 24} and Q = {x : x is a factor of 30}.
P ∩ Q = {1, 2, 3, 6}.
Reason: The intersection of two sets A and B is the set of all those elements of A which are not in B.
- Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
- Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
Answer
Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
Explanation
P = Factors of 24: {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24}
Q = Factors of 30: {1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30}
Common elements (P ∩ Q ) = {1, 2, 3, 6}
So the assertion is true.
Reason is false. The definition provided in the reason actually describes the Difference of Sets (A - B). The intersection (A ∩ B) is the set of elements that are common to both A and B.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
