The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason problem step by step, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: \[ \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right) \times \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right) \times \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right) \times \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right) \times \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right) \times \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right) \times \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right) \times \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right) \times \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right) \times \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right) = \frac{(-10)^{10}}{3^{10}} \] - We have \(-\frac{10}{3}\) multiplied by itself 10 times. - According to the laws of exponents, multiplying the same base \(a\) \(n\) times can be expressed as \(a^n\). - Here, our base is \(-\frac{10}{3}\) and we multiply it 10 times. Thus, we can rewrite the left-hand side as: \[ \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)^{10} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the Left-Hand Side Now, we simplify \(\left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)^{10}\): \[ \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)^{10} = \frac{(-10)^{10}}{3^{10}} \] ### Step 3: Conclusion of Assertion This matches the right-hand side of the assertion: \[ \frac{(-10)^{10}}{3^{10}} \] Thus, the assertion is **true**. ### Step 4: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Any number \(a\) can be written as \(a = m \times 10^n\) in standard form, where \(m\) lies between 1 and 10 (including 1) and \(n\) is any integer." - This statement is indeed true. For example, \(20\) can be expressed as \(2 \times 10^1\), and \(0.0023\) can be expressed as \(2.3 \times 10^{-3}\). - The condition that \(m\) must lie between 1 and 10 and \(n\) is an integer is also correct. ### Step 5: Conclusion of Reason The reason is **true**, but it does not explain the assertion directly. The assertion is about the multiplication of a fraction, while the reason discusses the representation of numbers in standard form. ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the correct option is: - Assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
