labeled the Reason R. You are to examine these two statements carefully and decide if the
Assertion A and the Reason R are individually true and if so, whether the Reason is a correct
explanation of the Assertion. Select your answers to these items using the codes given below and
mark your answer sheet accordingly:
Codes:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
