Question 34

The question contains two statements : Statement 1(assertion) and Statement 2(reason). The question has four alternative choices, only one of which is the correct alternative. You have to select one of the codes a, b, c, d given below.
Statement 1: If a, b, c are distinct and x, y, z are not all zero and ax + by + cz = 0, bx + cy + az = 0, cx + ay + bz = 0
then a + b + c = 0
Statement 2:  if a, b, c are distinct.


a) Statement 1 is false. Statement 2 is true.

b) Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is true. Statement 2 is a correct explanation of Statement 1.

c) Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is true. Statement 2 is not a correct explanation of Statement 1.

d) Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is false.
