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

Assertion (A)	Reason (R)
If (x – 2) is a factor of then	If p(x) is divided by (x – a), then the remainder is p(a).

The correct answer is: (B)

We have,

p (x) = x³ – 2x + 3k

(x – 2) is a factor of p (x)

∴ p (2) = 0

(2)³ – 2 (2) + 3k = 0

8 – 4 + 3k = 0

4 + 3k = 0

3k = - 4

k =

Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)

∴ Option B is correct
