ASSERTION AND REASON QUESTIONS
Q10. (c) is Correct
Because, 𝑧 3 + 125 = (𝑧)3 + (5)3
We know that
(𝑎)3 + (𝑏)3 = (𝑎 + 𝑏)[𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 − 𝑎𝑏]
(𝑧)3 + (5)3 = (𝑧 + 5)[𝑧 2 + 52 − 𝑧 × 5]
𝑧 3 + 125 = (𝑧 + 5)[𝑧 2 − 5𝑧 + 25]
So, Assertion is correct
but,
𝑥 3 + 𝑦 3 = (𝑥 + 𝑦)3 + 3𝑥𝑦(𝑥 + 𝑦) is wrong.
Because know that
(𝑥 + 𝑦)3 = 𝑥 3 + 𝑦 3 + 3𝑥𝑦(𝑥 + 𝑦)
ஃ 𝑥 3 + 𝑦 3 = (𝑥 + 𝑦)3 − 3𝑥𝑦(𝑥 + 𝑦)
Q11. (a) is correct.
