Assertion (A) : The solution set for :

x + 3 ≥ 15 is Φ, if the replacement set is {x | x < 10, x ∈ N}.

Reason (R) : If we change over the sides of an equality, we must change the sign from < to > or > to < or ≥ to ≤ or ≤ to ≥.

  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,

⇒ x + 3 ≥ 15

Subtracting by 3 on both sides, we get :

⇒ x + 3 - 3 ≥ 15 - 3

⇒ x ≥ 12

The replacement set = {x | x < 10, x ∈ N} = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

Since no elements of the replacement set satisfy the inequality,

∴ Solution set is Φ.

So, assertion (A) is true.

Let's suppose a and b are two real numbers, such that :

⇒ a < b

⇒ b > a

Thus, we can say that, if we change over the sides of an equality, we must change the sign from < to > or > to < or ≥ to ≤ or ≤ to ≥.

So, reason (R) is true.

∴ Both A and R are correct, and R is not the correct explanation for A.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
