P(2, 4) is a point in first quadrant.

Assertion (A): Its reflection P' in origin O is in 2nd quadrant.

Reason (R): PO = P'O

  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

Reflection of a point (x, y) in the origin gives P'(-x, -y).

Thus, reflection of a P(2, 4) in the origin gives P'(-2, -4).

P'(-2, -4) lies in the third quadrant, where both x and y are negative.

So, assertion (A) is false.

Reflection in the origin preserves distance from the origin.

Both P and P' are at the same distance from the origin:

∴ PO = P'O

So, reason (R) is true.

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

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
