Question
Assertion (A): In case of burning, air and moisture are necessary.Reason(R): Oxygen is a supporter of combustion.(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
Solution
The correct answer is (d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation:
Assertion (A): In case of burning, air and moisture are necessary. This statement is false. For burning or combustion to occur, oxygen is necessary, not moisture. Moisture, in fact, can often inhibit the process of combustion.
Reason (R): Oxygen is a supporter of combustion. This statement is true. Oxygen is necessary for combustion to occur. In the absence of oxygen, combustion or burning cannot take place. This is why fires are often put out by smothering them, which cuts off the oxygen supply.
