Assertion (A) : In a polyhedron, there are 6 vertices, 12 edges then the number of faces are 8.

Reason (R) : In a pentagonal pyramid there are 6 faces, 6 vertices and 10 edges.

  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

In assertion (A),

Given,

E = 12 and V = 6.

Using Euler's formula :

⇒ F + V - E = 2.

Substituting the values, we get :

⇒ F + 6 - 12 = 2

⇒ F - 6 = 2

⇒ F = 2 + 6

⇒ F = 8

So, assertion (A) is true.

In reason (R),

Given,

F = 6, E = 10, and V = 6.

Using Euler's formula :

⇒ F + V - E = 2.

Substituting the values in L.H.S., we get

⇒ 6 + 6 - 10

⇒ 12 - 10

⇒ 2

R.H.S. = 2

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

So, reason (R) is true.

∴ Both A and R are correct, and R is not the correct explanation for A.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
