Question

    Given below are two statements, one is labelled as

    Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A: Rayleigh scattering cause the sky to appear blue. Reason R: As most of the Rayleigh scatterers have size
    A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C A is true but R is false Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A is false but R is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution
