The question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Please select the correct answer.


Assertion (A)



Reason (R)



The point p(–6,–4) lies in quadrant III.



The signs of points in quadrants I,II,III and IV are respectively (+,+) (-,+) (-,-) and (+,-).


We know that,

The point P (-6, -4) lies in the third quadrant as the points of the type (-, -) lie in III quadrant


Also, we know that


The signs of points in quadrants I, II, III and IV are respectively (+,+) (-,+) (-,-) and (+,-)


Both assertion and reason are true and reason justifies the assertion


Hence, option (a) is correct
