Assertion (A): The point (0, 7) is invariant under the reflection in y-axis.

Reason (R): The image of a point P(x, y) when reflected in the y-axis is P'(-x, y).

  1. A is true, R is false

  2. A is false, R is true

  3. Both A and R are true

  4. Both A and R are false

Answer

Since, x-coordinate of point (0, 7) is 0, thus it lies on y-axis.

A point is invariant on reflection in the line on which it lies.

∴ Assertion (A) is true.

On reflection in y-axis,

The y-coordinate remains same and the sign of x-coordinate changes.

Thus, P(x, y) when reflected in the y-axis becomes P'(-x, y).

∴ Reason (R) is true.

Both A and R are true.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
