A quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 ; where a, b and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.
Assertion (A): The roots of equation 2x2 + 5x - 3 = 0 are real and unequal.
Reason (R): For the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, the roots are real and unequal if b2 - 4ac > 0.
A is true, R is false.
A is false, R is true.
Both A and R are true and R is correct reason for A.

Answer
Both A and R are true and R is correct reason for A.
Reason
Given, 2x2 + 5x - 3 = 0
As we know that the roots of equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 are real and unequal if b2 - 4ac > 0.
⇒ b2 - 4ac = 52 - 4 x 2 x (-3)
= 25 + 24 = 49 > 0
So, Assertion (A) is true.
And, Reason (R) is also true and it clearly explain assertion as a positive discriminant (b2 - 4ac > 0) guarantees that the roots are real and unequal
Hence, option 3 is correct.
