Assertion and Reasoning

In each of the following questions, an Assertion (A) and a corresponding

Study both the statements and state which of the following is correct: Reason (R) supporting it are
(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.
1. Assertion (A): On a numberline — , and lie between O and 1.
Reason (R): There exists an infinite number of rational numbers between
any two rationalnumbers
2. Assertion (A): The sum of three proper fractions is rational.
Reason (R): All fractions are rational numbers.
3. Assertion (A): 0 lies in between 7 and — 7
