Mathematics

Assertion (A) : x < -2 and x ≥ 1.

⇒ Solution set S = {x | -2 < x ≤ 1, x ∈ R}

Reason (R) : Two inequations can be written in a combined expression.

  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 < -2 and x ≥ 1

Means, x is less than -2 and x is greater than or equal to 1.

There is no real number that can satisfy both conditions at the same time.

So, assertion (A) is false.

In mathematics, it's common to combine multiple inequalities into a single expression using logical connectors.

For example, x > 3 and x ≤ 5 can be combined as 3 < x ≤ 5.

So, reason (R) is true.

∴ A is false, but R is true.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
