MCQ
Statement A (Assertion) : $\sqrt{2}$ is an irrational number.
Statement $R$ (Reason) : If $p$ be a prime, then $\sqrt{p}$ is an irrational number.
  • 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 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
