Q.

Assertion (A): If  5 + 7 is a root of a quadratic equation with rational coefficients, then its other root is 5  7

Reason (R): Irrational roots of a quadratic equation with rational coefficients occur in conjugate pairs.

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.

(1)

Since irrational roots of a quadratic equation always occur in conjugate pairs, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
