Directions: Choose the correct answer out of the following choices:
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
c) A is true but R is false
d) A is false but R is true
1) Assertion (A) –a0 is equal to 0
Reasons (R) –zero exponent property
2) Assertion (A) – The Square of the following numbers will be odd 81.
Reasons (R) – An odd number is an integer when divided by two, either leaves a remainder or the
result is a fraction.
3) Assertion (A) – 7² = 23+24
Reasons (R) – The sum of any two consecutive numbers is always odd
4) Assertion (A) – Zero is a rational number.
Reason (R) – Each rational number is a quotient of any two integers, while its divisor should
𝑝
not be Zero. Thus, a number of the form where p and q are integers and q≠ 0
𝑞
is a rational number.
5) Assertion (A) - Rational numbers are commutative for division.
Reason (R) – Rational numbers are commutative under addition and multiplication.
6) Assertion (A) – am × an is equal to a(m+n)
Reason (R) – Property of laws of exponents
7) Assertion (A) – a0 is equal to 0
Reason (R) – Zero exponent property
