MCQ
For question, statements are given$-$one labelled Assertion $(A)$ and the other labelled Reason $(R).$ Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $(a) (b) (c)$ and $(d)$ as given below.
Assertion $(A):$ Cadmium rods, used in a nuclear reactor, control the rate of fission.
Reason $(R):$ Cadmium rods, used in a nuclear reactor, control the rate of fission.
  • ✓
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A.$
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is $\text{NOT}$ the correct explanation of $A.$
  • C
    $A$ is true, but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ is false and $R$ is also false.
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A.$
Cadmium rods are used in a nuclear reactor to control the rate of fission. The cadmium rods do not slow down or speed up the neutrons produced in a fission reaction of $^{235}U.$ Instead, they absorb the neutrons, there by regulating the power level of the reactor.
