10th Class Mathematics Polynomials Question Bank Assertion and Reason MCQs - Polynomials

  • 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] Zeroes of
    \[f\left( x \right)={{x}^{2}}-4x-5\]are 5, -1
    Reason [R] The polynomial whose zeroes are \[2+\sqrt{3},\,2-\sqrt{3}\]is \[{{x}^{2}}-4x+7\]

    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 :

    Assertion Given, \[f\left( x \right)={{x}^{2}}-4x-5\]
     Splitting the middle term
                            \[f\left( x \right)={{x}^{2}}-5x+x-5\]
                            \[=x\left( x-5 \right)+1\left( x-5 \right)\]
                            \[=\left( x+1 \right)\left( x-5 \right)\]
                            \[f\left( x \right)=0\]
                            \[x\text{ }=\text{ }-1\] and x = 5 (True)
    Reason We know that, the polynomial is
                            \[{{x}^{2}}-\left( \alpha +\beta  \right)x+\alpha \,.\beta\]
                            \[{{x}^{2}}-\left( 2+\sqrt{3}+2-\sqrt{3} \right)x+\left( 2+\sqrt{3} \right).\left( 2-\sqrt{3} \right)\]
                            \[{{x}^{2}}-4x+\left( 4-3 \right)\]
                            \[{{x}^{2}}-4x+1\]
     Assertion is true and Reason is false
