Mathematics

Assertion (A) : The solution set in the system of negative integers for : 0 > -4 - p is {-3, -2. -1}.

Reason (R) : If the same quantity is subtracted from both sides of an equation, the symbol of inequality is reversed.

  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

Given,

⇒ 0 > -4 - p

Adding 4 on both sides, we get :

⇒ 0 + 4 > -4 - p + 4

⇒ 4 > -p

⇒ -p < 4

⇒ p > -4 (Multiplying by a negative number reverses the inequality)

This inequality means p can be any real number greater than -4.

The solution set = {-3, -2, -1}.

So, assertion (A) is true.

As we know that adding or subtracting the same quantity from both sides of an inequality does not change the direction of the inequality symbol.

So, reason (R) is false.

∴ A is true, but R is false.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
