Assertion (A) : Solution set of -6x < -40, x ∈ W is {6, 7, 8, 9, …..}.

Reason (R) : If each term of an in-equation be multiplied or divided by the same negative number, the sign of inequality reverses.

  1. A is true, R is false.

  2. A is false, R is true.

  3. Both A and R are true.

  4. Both A and R are false.

Answer

Solving,

⇒ -6x < -40

⇒ 6x > 40

⇒ x > 406\dfrac{40}{6}

⇒ x > 203\dfrac{20}{3}

⇒ x > 6236\dfrac{2}{3}.

Since, x ∈ W

∴ x = {7, 8, 9, ……}

∴ Assertion (A) is false.

We know that,

If each term of an in-equation be multiplied or divided by the same negative number, the sign of inequality reverses.

∴ Reason (R) is true.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
