MCQ
Given below are two statements; one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A:$ Electromagnets are made of soft iron.

Reason $R:$ Soft iron has high permeability and low retentivity.

In the light of above, statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    $A$ is not correct but $R$ is correct
  • Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
  • C
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is NOT the correct explanation of $A$
  • D
    $A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
b
Electromagnets are made of soft iron because it has high permeability and low retentivity.

So, Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
