MCQ
Assertion (A): $\frac{-8}{3}$ is a rational number.
Reason (R) : Every integer is a rational number.
  • A
    Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  •  Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and 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.

Answer

Correct option: B.
 Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation
of Assertion (A).
(b): $\frac{-8}{3}$ is a rational number as it is of the form $\frac{a}{b}$, where $a$ and $b$ are both integers.
$\therefore A$ is true.
Every integer is a rational number as an integer $m$ can be written as $\frac{m}{1}$, which is clearly a rational number.
$\therefore R$ is also true but R is not the correct explanation of A .
