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


Assertion (A)



Reason (R)



If a b then


(a, b) (b, a)



(4,–3) lies in quadrant IV.


According to question,

If a b then (a, b) (b, a)


This statement is true


Also, (4, -3) lies in the quadrant IV


As both assertion and reason are true but the reason does not justify the assertion


Hence, option (b) is correct
