6. Assertion – Reasoning (1x2=2)
Directions:- Each Question consist of two statements, namely,
Assertion (A) and Reason (R). For selecting the correct answer, use
the following code:
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R)
is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R)
is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A) .
(c) Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
i) Assertion (A): (P+1)(P-1)(P2+1)(P4+1) = (P8-1)
ii) Reason (R) : (a-b)(a+b) = (a2 – b2)
iii) Assertion (A) : For positive value of a rational number n, n2 >
n only if n < 1.
iv) Reason (R) : For 0 < n < 1 , we have n2 < n.
7. Case – Based Questions (1x3=3)
