Statement $I$: If we break a magnet then we can separate two poles of the magnet.

Statement $II$: Monopoles can't exist.

• A. Statement $I$ is True, Statement $II$ is True; Statement $II$ is a correct explanation for Statement $I$
• B. Statement $I$ is True, Statement $II$ is True; Statement $II$ is NOT a correct explanation for Statement $I$
• C. Statement $I$ is True, Statement $II$ is False
• D. Statement $I$ is False, Statement $II$ is True

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Statement $I$ is False, Statement $II$ is True

Explanation for Assertion statement:

1. The magnetic North pole and South pole cannot be physically separated.

Explanation for Reason statement:

1. There is no such thing as a magnetic monopole.
2. Even if a magnet is broken down to its atomic level, the magnetic poles cannot be physically separated, much as the two faces of a current loop cannot be physically separated.

Statement $I$ is False, Statement $II$ is True.

Hence, option (d) is correct.
