Assertion (A): The point (-5, 0) lies on the x-axis.

Reason (R): The y-coordinates of a point on x-axis is zero.

  1. Assertion (A) is true, Reason (R) is false.

  2. Assertion (A) is false, Reason (R) is true.

  3. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is the correct reason for Assertion (A).

  4. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is incorrect reason for Assertion (A).

Answer

We know that,

A point lies on the x-axis if its y-coordinate is 0.

So, reason (R) is true.

Here, the point is (−5, 0), so the y-coordinate is 0.

So, assertion (A) is true.

Thus, both A and R are correct, and R clearly explains A.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
