Question

Read the following statements and select the correct option.

Assertion [A]: Mangoes can be plucked from the trees but the grain seeds of plants like maize cannot be plucked from their stalks.
Reason [R]: Grain seeds of maize are very much bigger in size as compared to their stalks.

• A. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
• B. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
• C. A is true but R is false.
• D. A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is C A is true but R is false.

One may pluck mangoes or guavas from the trees. However, grain seeds are much smaller than mangoes or guavas. By using the method of handpicking, it will be very difficult and will take a very long time. So, plucking them from their stalks would be impractical and time-consuming.
