Assertion : An ascenting taxonomic sequence of Gossypium herbaceum indicates its placement in progressively higher groups.
Reason : Ascending taxonomic hierarchy indicates that a toxon is treated as belonging to a number of taxa.

A

If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

B

If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

C

If the assertion is true but the reason is false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
G. herbaceum belongs to family-Malvaceae. Taxonomic hierarchy is the system by which various taxonomic categories are arranged in a proper descending order. The ascending toxonomic hierarchy shows that a taxon belongs to a number of taxa and its placement in progressively higher groups.

The amount of moisture that leather adsorbs or loses is determined by temperature, relative humidity, degree of porosity, and the size of the pores. Moisture has great practical significance because its amount affects the durability of leather, and in articles such as shoes, gloves, and other garments, the comfort of the wearer. High moisture content accelerates deterioration and promotes mildew action. On the other hand, a minimum amount of moisture is required to keep leather properly lubricated and thus prevent cracking. The study indicates that adsorption of moisture by leather is a multi-molecular process and is accompanied by low enthalpies of adsorption. Further 75-percent relative humidity the adsorption is a function of surface area alone. Untanned hide and chrome-tanned leathers have the largest surface areas. The leathers tanned with the vegetable tanning materials have smaller surface areas since they are composed of less hide substance and the capillaries are reduced to smaller diameters, in some cases probably completely filled by tanning materials. This process of tanning occurs due to mutual coagulation of positively charged hide with negatively charged tanning material. The result of the study indicated that untanned hide and chrome-tanned leather adsorb the most water vapour. Assertion: Vegetable tanned leather cannot adsorb a large amount of moisture. Reason: Porous materials have higher surface area.

Numerous forms of the periodic table have been revised from time to time. A modern verion, which is most convenient and widely used is the long or extended from the periodic table. The aufbau principle (electrons are filled in the progressive order of their increasing energy i.e., by n + l rule) and the electronic configuration of atom provides a theoretical foundation for the periodic classification. The horizontal rows are called periods. There are altogether seven periods. The first period consists of 2 elements. The subsequent periods consist of 8, 8, 18 and 32 elements respectively. The seventh maximum of 32 elements. Elements having similar outer electronic configurations in their atoms are grouped in vertical columns. These are referred to as groups or famillies. According to the recommendation of IUPAC, the groups are numbered 1 to 18 replacing the older notation of groups 0, IA, IIA ..... VIIA, VIII, IB, ...... VII B. Each successive period in the periodic table is associated with the filling up of next higher principal energy level following aufbua sequence. The number of elements in each period is twice the number of atomic orbitals avaliable in the energy level that is being filled. All the elements are classified into four blocks, i.e., s-block, p-block, d-block and f-block depending on the type of atomic orbitals that are being filled with the last electron of the element. In Mendeleev's periodic table, silver belongs to IB group. The group to which silver belongs in long form of periodic table is (Atomic number =47):
