Assertion and reason

21. Assertion (A): The perfect square number out of 2, 3, 4 and 5 is 4. (Ans - A)
Reasons (R): A perfect square is a number that can be expressed as the product of an integer by itself or as
the second exponent of an integer.
22. Assertion (A): Natural numbers lie between 12² and 13² are 24. (Ans - B)
Reasons (R): Natural numbers are the positive integers or non-negative integers which start from 1 and ends
at infinity.
23. Assertion (A): The unit digit in the square of the number 2644 is 4. (Ans – C)
Reasons (R): Units digit of a number is the digit in the one’s place of the number. i.e. it is the rightmost digit
of the number.
24. Assertion (A): 120 is a perfect cube (Ans - D)
 Reasons (R): The perfect cube is the result of multiplying the same integer three times.
25. Assertion (A): Sum of each interior angle in a triangle is 180 degrees. (Ans - B)
Reasons (R): Two of two opposite interior angle in a triangle is equal.
26. Assertion (A): The probability of getting 7 while rolling a die is 0. (Ans - A)
Reasons (R): The probability of getting impossible event is 0.
27. Assertion (A): The factorization of 6 xy−4 y +6−9 x is ( 3 x−2 ) ( 2 y −3 ) (Ans - A)
Reason (R): The factorization is defined as expressing or decomposing a number or an algebraic expression as
product of its prime factors or irreducible factors.
28. Assertion (A): If AB xy , BC =YZ , AC= XZ ,∧angle A=angle X , angle B=angleY ∧¿
And angle C = angle Z, then Triangle ABC congruent to triangle XYZ. (Ans – C )
Reason (R): Two triangle are congruent if their shape and size are not same.
29. Assertion (A): In triangle ABC, if AB = AC, then angle B is equal to angle C. (Ans – A)
Reason (R): Angle opposite to equal sides in a triangle are qual.
30. Assertion (A): Simple interest and compound interest compounded annually for the same sum, at the same
rate of interest for one year is equal. (Ans B)
Reason (R): Compound interest varies with each year for the same principal amount and increased for
successive years.
