Given below is the graphical representation of an inequality on number line. Linear Inequations, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

Assertion (A): It represents real numbers lying between -5 and 32\dfrac{3}{2} but not -5 and 32\dfrac{3}{2}.

Reason (R): The hole represents absence of the number -5.

  1. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

  2. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

  3. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is the correct reason for Assertion (A).

  4. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is incorrect reason for Assertion (A).

Answer

If the number is represented by x, then :

From the number line, we get :

5<x32-5 \lt x \le \dfrac{3}{2} and x ∈ R.

∴ It represents real numbers lying between -5 and 32\dfrac{3}{2} but not -5.

So, assertion (A) is false.

The hole on the number line represents absence of the number -5.

So, reason (R) is true.

Thus, Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
