ASSERTION-REASON BASED QUESTIONS

In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R).
Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(b) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
(c) (A) is true but (R) is false.
(d) (A) is false but (R) is true.

19. Assertion: The Relation R defined on A = {a,b,c} and given by

R = {(a,a), (b,b), (c,c), (a,b), (b,a), (a,c), (c,a)} is an equivalence relation.
Reason: A relation R is said to be equivalence relation if it is Reflexive, Symmetric
and Transitive.
20. Assertion: function f(x) = |x|, has a point of local minima at x = 0
Reason: x = a is called a point of local minima for a function f(x) if there is a h>0,
such that f(a – h) ≥ f(a) ≤ f( a + h), irrespective whether the function is
differentiable at x = a or not.
