Solution

(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Sulphide ores are concentrated by froth floatation method. Sulphide ore particles are preferentially wetted by oil, become lighter and rise to the surface along with the froth while gangue particles are preferentially wetted by water, become heavier and thus settle down at the bottom of the tank and cresols stabilise the froth in froth floatation method.
Formation of froth is main reason for extraction of metal. Metal ore comes out along with froth.
