Assertion (A): The reflection of the point A(-4, 2) in the origin is the point A'(4, 2).

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

  1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

  2. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

  3. A is true, but R is false.

  4. A is false, but R is true.

Answer

Rule to find reflection of a point in origin :

Change the sign of abscissa i.e. x-coordinate and ordinate i.e. y-coordinate.

A(-4, 2) ⇒ A'(4, -2)

Assertion (A) is false.

Reflection in the origin requires changing the sign of both the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate.

Thus,

P(x, y) ⇒ P'(-x, -y)

Reason (R) is true.

A is false, R is true.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
