A : PARSEC and light year, both measure time
R : Both have dimension of time.

A

If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).

B

If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (2).

C

If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark (3).

D

If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4).

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the statements A and R provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Parsec**: A parsec (short for parallax second) is a unit of distance used in astronomy. It is defined as the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond. - **Light Year**: A light year is the distance that light travels in one year. It is also a unit of distance. 2. **Analyzing Statement A**: - The statement A claims that "Parsec and light year both measure time." - This statement is incorrect because both parsec and light year are units of distance, not time. 3. **Analyzing Statement R**: - The statement R claims that "Both have dimension of time." - Since both parsec and light year are units of distance, this statement is also incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both statements A and R are incorrect, we conclude that the answer is that both statements are false. ### Final Answer: Both A and R are incorrect. Therefore, the correct option is that both statements are false. ---
