Assertion Nylon wire is stronger than steel wire. Reason Nylon is a fibre while steel is an alloy.
- A. Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation for assertion
- B. Both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for assertion
- C. Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect
- D. Both assertion and reason are incorrect
Step-by-step solution
The assertion that nylon wire is stronger than steel wire is true when considering specific strength (strength-to-weight ratio), though absolute tensile strength is lower; however, this is a common comparison in material science. The reason that nylon is a fibre and steel is an alloy is factually correct but does not directly explain the strength difference, as strength depends on molecular structure and bonding, not merely classification as fibre or alloy.
