Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): 4 is mode, median and mean of the following data: 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7
Reason (R): The mean, mode and median are always equal for any data.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Any statement containing absolute words like "always" or "never" in mathematics is highly likely to be false.
Knowing this allows you to immediately identify Reason (R) as false without further analysis!
