Analyze the following Assertion-Reason pairs and select the correct answer based on the given codes: 1. Assertion: Adding a pinch of salt to distilled water makes it a good conductor. Reason: Added impurities in distilled water provide free ions that conduct electricity. 2. Assertion: Water can be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen by passing electricity through it. Reason: The chemical effects of electric current are used to decompose chemical compounds into their elements. Codes: (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of the assertion. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion. (c) A is true but R is false. (d) A is false but R is true.
Understand the Problem
The question presents two assertion-reason pairs and asks you to determine the relationship between them. You need to choose the correct option (a, b, c, or d) based on whether the assertion and reason are true or false, and whether the reason correctly explains the assertion.
Answer
The answer is (a) for both pairs.
For the first pair, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation. For the second pair, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation. Thus, the answer is (a) for both.
Answer for screen readers
For the first pair, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation. For the second pair, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation. Thus, the answer is (a) for both.
More Information
Distilled water is pure water that does not contain ions, so it is a bad conductor of electricity. Adding salt introduces ions, which can conduct electricity.
Tips
Read each assertion and reason pair carefully and determine if each statement is true. Then determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion.
