  • question_answer
    Directions: Each of these questions contains two statements: Assertion [A] and Reason [R]. Each of these questions also has four alternative choices, any one of which is the correct answer. You have to select one of the codes [a], [b], [c] and [d] given below.
    Assertion [A] A two-digit number is obtained by either multiplying sum of the digits by 8 and adding 1 or by multiplying the difference of digits by 13 and adding 2. The number is 41.
    Reason [R] The linear equations used are \[7x-2y+1=0\] and\[12x-23y+2=0\].

    A) A is true, R is true; R is a correct explanation for A.

    B) A is true, R is true; R is not a correct explanation for A.

    C) A is true; R is False.

    D) A is false; R is true.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the digit at units place be x and the digit at ten's place be y. Then, number \[=10y+x\]
    According to the given condition, we have
    \[10y+x=8\left( x+y \right)+1\Rightarrow 7x-2y+1=0\] ... (i)
    and, \[10y+x=13\left( y-x \right)+2\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,14x-3y-2=0\]                            ... (ii)
    On multiplying Eq. (i) by 2, we get
    \[14x-4y+2=0\]                        ... (iii)
    On subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (ii), we get
    \[y-4=0\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,y=4\]
    From Eq. (i)
    \[7x-2\left( 4 \right)+1=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,7x-8+1=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,7x-7=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,7x=7\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,x=1\]
    Hence, the number \[=10y+x\]
    \[=10\times 4+1=41\]
    Assertion : True; Reason : False
