Both (A) & (R) are individually true but (R) is not the correct (proper) explanation of (A).
Option B (Both (A) & (R) are individually true but (R) is not the correct (proper) explanation of (A).) is correct because while both the assertion and the reason are true statements, the reason does not directly explain the assertion.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
At most once in (a,b)(a, b)
Option B (At most once in (a,b)(a, b)) is correct because if f′(x)=0f'(x) = 0 at two distinct points, Rolle's theorem would imply f′′(x)=0f''(x) = 0 at some point, contradicting f′′(x)<0f''(x) < 0.
