-Assertion (A)and Reason
Question No. 17 to 20 consist of twostatements
appropriate option given
(R). Answer these questions by selecting the
below:
explanation ofA.
(a) Both A and Rare true, andRis the correct
explanation of A.
(6) Both A and R are true, andRis not the correct
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) Ais false but R is true.
saturated
17. Assertion (A): Addition reaction is a characteristic property of
hydrocarbons such as alkanes.
Reason (R): Vegetable oils are converted into vegetable fats by the
process ofhydrogenation which is a type of addition reaction in the presence
of nickel or palladium.
18. Assertion (A): Brain is protected by a fuid-filled balloon which acts as
shock absorber and is contained inside a bony box.
Reason (R): Brain is the delicate organ as well as the coordinating centre
of the body.
19. Assertion (A): Convex mirrors are commonly used as rear-view mirrors in
the vehicles.
Reason (R):Convex mirrors form virtual, erect and diminished image which
enables the driver toview larger area to facilitate safe driving.
20. Assertion (A):The concentration of harmful chemicals increases with every
trophic level in a food chain.
Reason (R):Maximum concentration ofharmful chemicals get accumulated
in producers as the green plants occupy the first trophic level in a food chain.
