Assertion (A): When some portion of the curve is above the \(x\)-axis (area \(A_2\)) and some below (area \(A_1\)), the total area enclosed is \(|A_1| + |A_2|\).

Reason (R): It may happen that some portion of the curve is above \(x\)-axis and some portion is below \(x\)-axis. Let \(A_1\) be the area below \(x\)-axis and \(A_2\) be the area above \(x\)-axis. Therefore, the area bounded by the curve \(y = f(x)\) would be \(A = |A_1| + A_2\).

  1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
  4. (A) is false but (R) is true.

Answer

(A) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
