Assertion We apply paint on iron articles. Reason Iron is a metal, metals rust when they come in contact of direct air so to prevent rusting.
- 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 is true: paint is applied to iron articles to protect them. The reason, however, is incorrect because it states that 'metals rust', but rust specifically refers to iron corrosion; not all metals rust. Additionally, rusting requires both oxygen and moisture, not just air. Thus the reason does not accurately explain the assertion.
