Question

Assertion : The degree of x^2 - 5x + 2 is 2. Reason : The degree is the highest power of the variable in an equation. Therefore, in the given equation , the highest degree is 3.
A) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
B) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
C) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
D) Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
