Both are true

Answer 2

a) both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Explanation:

• As the sharp knife has small surface area on the cutting edge as compared to blunt knife, therefore it produces more pressure.
• Moreover, if we use blunt knife for cutting purposes then, while using it, it may stuck in between and we have to apply more force which may lead to slipping of the knife and hurting ourselves.
• That is why sharp knife is preferred over a blunt knife.
