Ans : (c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
Here reason is not true. 4 = ! 2 , which is not an
irrational number.

8. Assertion : a is an irrational number, where a is a

prime number.
Reason : Square root of any prime number is an
irrational number.
Ans : (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true
and reason (R) is the correct explanation of
assertion (A).
As we know that square root of every prime number
is an irrational number. So, both A and R are correct
and R explains A.

Ans : (a) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

10. Assertion : For any two positive integers a and b,

HCF ^a, b h # LCM ^a, b h = a # b
Reason : The HCF of two numbers is 5 and their
product is 150. Then their LCM is 40.
Ans : (c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
We have,
LCM ^a, b h # HCF ^a, b h = a # b
LCM # 5 = 150
LCM = 150 = 30
5
LCM = 30,
