Mathematics Question on Ratio
Given below are two statements: One is lebelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: If the A.M. and G.M. between two numbers are in the ratio m : n, then the numbers are in the ratio m+m2−n2:m−m2−n2
Reason R: If each term of a G.P. be raised to the same power, the resulting sequence also forms a G.P.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
A is true but R is false
A is false but R is true
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
Solution
The correct answer is(B): Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
