Q.

Assertion (A): 2x²  4x + 3 = 0 is a quadratic equation.

Reason (R): All polynomials of degree n, when n is a whole number, can be treated as quadratic equations.

1 Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.  
2 Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A  
3 A is true, but R is false  
4 A is false, but R is true  

Ans.

(3)

Yes, 2x²  4x + 3 = 0 is a quadratic equation because the degree of the equation is 2. However, not all polynomials of degree n can be treated as quadratic equations.

If n = 1, the equation is called a linear equation, and if n = 3, it is called a cubic equation.

Therefore, Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
