MCQ
For two statements are given $-$ one labelled Assertion $(A)$ and the other labelled Reason $(R).$ Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $\ce{(a), (b), (c)}$ and $(d)$ as given below :
Assertion : The arrangement of metals in order of decreasing reactivities is called reactivity series.
Reason : Metals at the top of series are very reactive and metals at the bottom are least reactive.
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
  • ✓
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • C
    $A$ is true, but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ is false, but $R$ is true.
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Metals at the top of the series are very reactive and therefore, they do not occur free in nature. The metals at the bottom of the series are least reactive and therefore, they normally occur free in nature.
