    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] The factor of
    \[\frac{3}{2}{{x}^{2}}-8x-\frac{35}{2}\] is \[\frac{1}{2}\left( x-7 \right)\left( 3x+5 \right)\]
    Reason [R] The factors are calculated by dividing the coefficients by 2 and expression is obtained by splitting the middle term
     

    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 :

    The expression is calculated by splitting the middle term
    Let be \[f\left( x \right)=\frac{3}{2}{{x}^{2}}-8x-\frac{35}{2}\]
    \[=\frac{1}{2}\left[ 3{{x}^{2}}-16x-35 \right]\]
                \[=\frac{1}{2}\left( 3{{x}^{2}}-21x+5x-35 \right)\]
                \[=\frac{1}{2}\left[ 3x\left( x-7 \right)+5\left( x-7 \right) \right]\]
                \[=\frac{1}{2}\left[ \left( 3x+5 \right)\left( x-7 \right) \right]\]
     Assertion is true but Reason is false.
