The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that the unit digit of the cubes of the numbers 528, 38, and 1298 is 2. ### Step 2: Identifying the Unit Digits First, we need to identify the unit digits of the numbers given: - The unit digit of 528 is 8. - The unit digit of 38 is 8. - The unit digit of 1298 is 8. ### Step 3: Finding the Cube of the Unit Digit Next, we need to find the cube of the unit digit (which is 8) and determine its unit digit: - Calculate \(8^3\): \[ 8^3 = 8 \times 8 \times 8 = 64 \times 8 = 512 \] - The unit digit of 512 is 2. ### Step 4: Conclusion of the Assertion Since the unit digit of the cube of each of the numbers (528, 38, and 1298) is indeed 2, the assertion is correct. ### Step 5: Understanding the Reason The reason states that if a number ends with 8, then its cube ends with 2. We have already verified this by calculating \(8^3\) and observing that the unit digit is 2. ### Step 6: Conclusion of the Reason The reason is also correct since we have shown that the unit digit of the cube of any number ending in 8 is 2. ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are correct. Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are true. ---
