Question:
Assertion : Two real numbers or two algebraic expressions related by the symbol < , >, ≤ or ≥ forms an inequality.
Reason : The inequality ax + by < 0 is strict inequality.
Answer: b

Question:

Answer: c

Question:
Assertion : The region containing all the solutions of an inequality is called the solution region.
Reason : The values of x, which make an inequality a true statement, are called solutions of the inequality.
Answer: b

Question:
