The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) provided. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that a number \( N \) when divided by 15 gives a remainder of 2. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ N = 15k + 2 \] where \( k \) is some integer (the quotient). 2. **Dividing by 5**: - We need to check what happens when \( N \) is divided by 5. We can substitute the expression for \( N \) into the division by 5: \[ N = 15k + 2 = (3 \times 5)k + 2 \] - When we divide \( N \) by 5, we can focus on the remainder: \[ N \mod 5 = (15k + 2) \mod 5 \] - Since \( 15k \) is a multiple of 5, it will give a remainder of 0 when divided by 5. Therefore: \[ N \mod 5 = 0 + 2 = 2 \] 3. **Conclusion for Assertion (A)**: - Thus, when \( N \) is divided by 5, the remainder is indeed 2. Therefore, Assertion (A) is true. 4. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that \( \sqrt{3} \) is an irrational number. This is a known fact in mathematics. It does not directly relate to the assertion about \( N \). 5. **Conclusion for Reason (R)**: - While Reason (R) is true, it does not provide a logical explanation for Assertion (A). 6. **Final Evaluation**: - Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation for Assertion (A). ### Final Answer: - Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but R is not the correct explanation for A. ---
