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(a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion (A): The true geographic north direction is found by using a compass needle. Reason (R): The magnetic meridian of the earth is along the axis of rotation of the earth.

Answer

  1. A is false and R is also false.
Explanation:
From the compass we are able to know the poles.the north of compass points towards the magnetic south pole.

If we know the magnetic declination at that particular place (which is angle between geographic meridian and magnetic meridian) we can easily find out the true geographic north-south direction. Imaginary lines drawn along the earth's surface in the direction of the horizontal component of the magnetic field of the earth at all points passing through the north and south magnetic poles. This is similar to the longitudes of the earth, which pass through the geographic north and south poles.
