• B. Assertion:- True Reason:- True Reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
• C. Assertion:- False Reason:- False
• D. Assertion:- False Reason:- True

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Assertion:- True

Reason:- True

Reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Lemon pickle is not stored in aluminium vessels because acid present in lemon reacts with aluminium. It forms the salt (harmful for the human body) and hydrogen gas. This is the reason why lemon pickle is not stored in aluminium vessels. Therefore both the assertion and reason are true.

Note:- Citric acid $C_6{H}_8{O}_7$ is present in lemons.
