Q50 of 274 Page 82

The question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R), Please select the correct answer.











Assertion (A)



Reason (R)



If is divided by (x – a), then the remainder is 5a.



If p(x) is divided by (x – a), then the remainder is p(a).


We have,

p (x) = x3 – ax2 + 6x - a


(x – a) is divided by p (x)


p (a) = (a)3 – a (a)2 + 6 (a) - a


= a3 – a3 + 6a - a


= 5a


Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true also Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)


Option A is correct
