The following are the sketches made by them, For question numbers 31-35, two statements are given- one labeled Assertion (A) and the other labeled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below: a. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion. b. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion. c Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement. 4d. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement, 31, Assertion: In a candle, wax vapours burn an insufficient supply of oxygen, which leads to a blue flame. Reason: When the oxygen supply is sufficient, then fuels burn completely producing a blue flame. 32, Assertion: As the temperature of a medium increases the refractive index decreases. Reason: When a ray travels from a vacuum to a medium, then 1 is known as the absolute refractive index of the medium. (J4yacuum = 0. 33. Assertion: Brown fumes are produced when lead nitrate is heated. Reason: Nitrogen dioxide gas is produced as a byproduct due to the decomposition of lead nitrate. 34, Assertion: Gas bubbles are observed when sodium carbonate is added to dilute hydrochloride acid. Reason: Carbon dioxide is given off in the reaction. 35, Assertion: The main organ of the human excretory system is the kidney. Reason: Kidneys perform the function of removing excess water and nitrogenous wastes from the body.Answer questions 36-40 based on the following case study: Read the following and answer any four questions: Salt of a strong acid and strong base is neutral with a pH value of 7.
