Assertion – Reason Type Questions
In question 1 to 6, an Assertion (A) statement is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Select
the correct option out of the following:
(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation
of Assertion (A).
(B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct
explanation of Assertion (A).
(C) Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false
(D) Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
1. Assertion(A): The difference of rational and irrational number is irrational.
Reason(R) : Product of rational and irrational is irrational
2. Assertion(A): 15 is the composite number.
Reason(R): 15 is odd number.
3. Assertion: Every integer is a rational number.
𝑚
Reason: Every integer is expressed in the form of ,so it is rational number.

4. Assertion: √5 is an irrational number.
Reason: A number is called irrational, if it cannot be written in the form p/q, where p and
q are integers and q≠0
5. Assertion: 0.468 is a terminating decimal.
Reason: A decimal in which a digit or a set of digits is repeated periodically, is called a
repeating, or a recurring decimal.
