Mathematics
Statement 1: The area of rectangle is x2 - 5x + 6 and the longer side of the rectangle is (x - 2).
Statement 2: x2 - 5x + 6
= (x - 2) (x - 3)
⇒ for every positive value of x(x > 3), (x - 2) is greater.
Both the statements are true.
Both the statements are false.
Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.
Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.
Answer
Give, Area of rectangle = x2 - 5x + 6
Longer side = (x - 2)
Factorise the area,
⇒ x2 - 5x + 6 = 0
⇒ x2 - 3x - 2x + 6 = 0
⇒ x(x - 3) - 2(x - 3) = 0
⇒ (x - 2) (x - 3) = 0
So, the given two sides of rectangle are:
(x - 2) (x - 3)
Since x > 3,
∴ (x - 2) > (x - 3)
So, (x - 2) is the longer side.
∴ Both the statements are true.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
