Assertion (A): The quadratic equation 4x² − 12x + 9 = 0 has repeated roots.
Reason (R): The quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0, has equal roots if D > 0.
(3)
Given, 4x² − 12x + 9 = 0. Discriminant, D = (−12)² − 4×4×9 = 144 − 144 = 0.
Hence, the equation has equal (repeated) roots. Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
