Mathematics

Assertion (A): Runs scored by batsman A are 55, 60, 30, 80 while runs scored by batsman B are 81, 87, 76, 92. Then B has higher range than A.

Reason (R): Range is the difference between maximum and minimum values of a variable.

  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).

Answer

Range = Maximum Value - Minimum Value.

∴ Reason (R) is true.

For Batsman A:

Runs: 55, 60, 30, 80

Minimum value (Min) = 30

Maximum value (Max) = 80

Range of A = Max − Min = 80 − 30 = 50.

For Batsman B:

Runs: 81, 87, 76, 92

Minimum value (Min) = 76

Maximum value (Max) = 92

Range of B = Max − Min = 92 − 76 = 16.

Thus, B does not have higher range than A.

∴ Assertion (A) is false.

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

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
