Discussion
Read the given Assertion (A) and Reason (R) carefully and choose the option that accurately describes the relation between them.
Assertion (A) : All prime numbers are odd numbers.
Reason (R) : All prime numbers can only be divided by itself and 1.
Answer: B
The correct option is (A) is false but (R) is true.
The Assertion is false because 2 is a prime number and it is even. All other primes are odd, but 'all prime numbers are odd' has this one exception.
The Reason states the definition of a prime: a number greater than 1 whose only divisors are 1 and itself. That is true. Since the Assertion is false, the options calling both true are wrong, and since the Reason is true, 'Both false' is wrong.
