Question

Following questions consist of two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Answer these questions selecting the appropriate option given below:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true but R is false
(d) A is false but R is true
(A): Map is the geographical representation of land on a paper.
(R): Magnetic Variation is the difference between Grid North and Magnetic North

Answer 1

Answer:

(b)Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer 2

The correct answer is option b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

• Both the given definitions are true. Maps are the geographical representations of the world on a sheet of paper. Magnetic variation refers to the angular difference between the north on the map and the north on land.  
• However, these two statements do not provide any reason for one other. They are individual distinguishable sentences. The sentence 'R' is not the correct explanation of the sentence 'A'.
