ASSERTION-REASON BASED QUESTIONS

Directions: In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A)is followed by a statement of Reason
(R). Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both (A)and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(b) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
(c) (A) is true but (R)is false.
(d) (A) is false but (R) is true.
19,Assertion(A) : 2 is a prime number.
Reason (.R): The square of an irrational number is always a prime number
20.Assertion (A): For k=6 the system of linear equation x+ 2y +3 = 0 and 3 x+ky+6=0 is inconsistent.
Reason (R): The system of linear equations a,x+b,y+c,=0
And a,x+b,y+c,=0 is inconsistent if
