MCQ
Statement A (Assertion): The $n^{\text {th }}$ term of a sequence is $3 n-2$. It is an A.P.
Statement R (Reason) : A sequence is not an A.P. if its $n^{\text {th }}$ term is not a linear expression in $n$.
  • ✓
    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.
