The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason provided in the statements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Many plants are propagated vegetatively even though they bear seeds." - This means that some plants can reproduce asexually (vegetatively) even if they have the capability to produce seeds. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason given is "Sweet potatoes multiply tubers and apple by grafting etc." - This indicates specific examples of vegetative propagation methods used by certain plants, such as sweet potatoes using tubers and apples using grafting. 3. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - The assertion is true because many plants, like potatoes and strawberries, can reproduce vegetatively through methods such as tubers, runners, or grafting, despite having seeds. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The reason is also true as it provides valid examples of how certain plants reproduce vegetatively. Sweet potatoes do indeed multiply through tubers, and apples can be propagated through grafting. 5. **Determining the Relationship**: - While both statements are true, the reason does not directly explain the assertion. The assertion discusses the general concept of vegetative propagation in plants that can also produce seeds, while the reason provides specific examples of vegetative methods. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct option is that both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: The correct option is: Both statement 1 and 2 are correct, but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1.
