labeled the ‘Reason R’. You are to examine these two statements carefully and decide if the
Assertion A and the Reason R are individually true and if so, whether the Reason is a correct
explanation of the Assertion. Select your answers to these items using the codes given below
and mark your answer sheet accordingly:

Codes:

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