MCQ
Assertion : Neutrons penetrate mater more readily as compared to protons.

Reason : Neutrons are slightly more massive than protons.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: B.
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
b
Neturon is penetrate more readily as compared to protons because neutrons do not carry any change so there is no repulsion between nucleus and neutrons. So assertion is true reason is also true as mass of neutron is more than proton but reason does not explain assertion.
