Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A (Option 1)
Explanation :
- Baking powder is the mixture of a base (carbonate or bicarbonate), mild acid; where cornstarch acts as a buffer avoiding the premature action of the acid-base mixture.
- Bicarbonate or carbonate on heating gives a metallic or bitter taste to the food, because of chemical change.
- The mild acid in the powder comes to the rescue, avoiding the bitterness with its mild sour touch.
- Thus, the given reason supports the assertion, and both are true.
