Question

Assertion: The points (-3,5) and (5,-3) are at different positions in the coordinate plane.

Reason: The position of (x,y) in the Cartesian plane is different from the position of (y, x).

Which of the following is correct?

• A. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
• B. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
• C. The assertion is true but the reason is false.
• D. The assertion is false but the reason is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

(-3,5) and (5,-3) are different point as (-3,5) lies in II quadrant and (5,-3) lies in IV quadrant.

$x\ne y,(x,y)\ne (y,x)$

$\therefore$ Assertion and reason are both correct and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
