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 : Atomic size of As is more than that of $P.$
Reason : Atomic size decreases along a period.
  • 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.

For question 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 : Graphite is a good conductor of electricity.
Reason : lt has one free valence electron.
Assertion (A): A proton moves horizontally towards a vertical long conductor having an upward electric current. It will deflect vertically downward.
Reason (R): Seeing the proton and the conductor from the side of the proton, the magnetic field at the site of the
proton will be towards the right. Hence the force $\vec{F}=q \vec{\nu} \times \vec{B}$ will deflect the proton vertically downward.
In each of the following questions, a statement of Assertion is given by the corresponding statement of Reason. Of the statements, mark the correct answer as :
Assertion : Menstruation is the regular discharge of blood from the thick uterine lining.
Reason : Menstruation occurs when egg is fertilized by sperm.

Assertion : If pesticide is present in water bodies, then fish eating birds accumulate maximum amount of $\ce{DDT}$ in their bodies.
Reason : Pesticides are not metabolized within bodies of living organisms and get concentrated at each trophic level, leading to bioaccumulation.
