Question

The base of an isosceles triangle is \frac{5}{2} cm and its perimeter is 8\frac{1}{2} cm. The length of each equal side is:

Assertion (A): Multiplying both sides of \frac{x}{3} - \frac{x}{4} = 2 by 12 gives 4x - 3x = 24, so x = 24. Reason (R): To remove fractions from an equation, we multiply both sides by the HCF of the denominators.
