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.

  1. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  2. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  3. Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
  4. 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.
