Assertion (A): is a quadratic equation.
Reason (R): All polynomials of degree n, when n is a whole number, can be treated as quadratic equations.
(3)
Yes, 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.
