Assertion : root(3) ((27)/( 216)) can be...

Assertion : `root(3) ((27)/( 216))` can be written as `((216)/(27))^(1//3)`.
Reason : `a^(1//n) = root(n) (a)`, where both represents `n^(th)` root of `a`.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason statement, we need to analyze both parts step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that: \[ \sqrt[3]{\frac{27}{216}} = \left(\frac{216}{27}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \] We need to check if this equality holds true. ### Step 2: Simplify the Left Side First, let's simplify the left side: \[ \sqrt[3]{\frac{27}{216}} = \left(\frac{27}{216}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \] Now, we can simplify \(\frac{27}{216}\): \[ \frac{27}{216} = \frac{1}{8} \quad \text{(since } 27 = 3^3 \text{ and } 216 = 6^3 = (3 \cdot 2)^3 = 3^3 \cdot 2^3\text{)} \] Thus, \[ \sqrt[3]{\frac{27}{216}} = \left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the Right Side Now let's simplify the right side: \[ \left(\frac{216}{27}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} = \left(8\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} = 2 \] ### Step 4: Compare Both Sides From our simplifications: - Left Side: \(\frac{1}{2}\) - Right Side: \(2\) Since \(\frac{1}{2} \neq 2\), the assertion is false. ### Step 5: Analyze the Reason The reason states: \[ a^{\frac{1}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{a} \] This statement is indeed true, as it defines the relationship between exponents and roots. ### Conclusion - The assertion is **false**. - The reason is **true**. ### Final Answer Assertion: False Reason: True ---
