View full solution →Directions: In the following questions, the Assertions $(A)$ and Reason(s) $(R)$ have been put forward. Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
Assertion (A): The rule, which gives the number of matchsticks required to make the matchstick pattern $S,$ is 5n
Reason (R): n is an example of a variable. Its value is not fixed; it can take any value $1, 2, 3, 4,….$ We wrote the rule for the number of matchsticks required using the variable n.
