Assertion (A): On simplifying 5 x 4 ÷ 2 - 1, we get 20.

Reason (R): For simplifying an expression we use DMAS rule.

  1. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

  2. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

  3. Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

  4. Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.

Answer

Given,

5 x 4 ÷ 2 - 1

= 5 x 2 - 1

= 10 - 1

= 9

∴ Assertion (A) is false.

For simplifying an expression we use DMAS rule.

This statement correctly identifies the standard order of operations (Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) used in arithmetic.

∴ Reason (R) is true.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
