Assertion (A): White tin is an example of tetragonal system.
Reasoning (R): For a tetragonal system a = b = c and a = p = y `* 90^@`.

A

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

B

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

C

(A) is true but (R) is not true

D

(A) is not true but (R) is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

White tin is an example of tetragonal system and for a tetragonal system, `a = b ne c` and `alpha = beta = gamma =90^@`.
