Assertion (A): 27-\dfrac{2}{7} is a rational number.

Reason (R): Any number that can be expressed in the form pq\dfrac{p}{q} is a rational number.

  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 true, and Reason (R) is the correct reason for Assertion (A).

  4. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct reason (or explanation) for Assertion (A).

Any number that can be expressed in the form pq\dfrac{p}{q} is a rational number.

The conditions are that p and q must be integers, and q must not be equal to zero.

∴ Reason (R) is false.

In the number 27-\dfrac{2}{7}, p = -2(which is an integer) and q = 7 (which is a non-zero integer).

Therefore, 27-\dfrac{2}{7} fits the definition of a rational number.

∴ Assertion (A) is true.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
