The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both statements carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: The assertion states that the total mass of the protons of a boron atom is 6185 times the total mass of electrons. 2. **Determining the Mass of Protons and Electrons**: - We know that the mass of one proton is approximately 1837 times the mass of one electron. - A boron atom has 5 protons. 3. **Calculating the Total Mass of Protons**: - The total mass of protons in a boron atom can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{Total mass of protons} = \text{Number of protons} \times \text{Mass of one proton} \] \[ = 5 \times (1837 \times \text{mass of electron}) \] \[ = 5 \times 1837 \times \text{mass of electron} \] \[ = 9185 \times \text{mass of electron} \] 4. **Comparing the Masses**: - The assertion claims that the total mass of protons is 6185 times the mass of electrons. However, we calculated it to be 9185 times the mass of electrons. - Therefore, the assertion (A) is **false**. 5. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: The reason states that the mass of one proton is 1837 times the mass of an electron. This is a well-established fact in atomic physics. 6. **Evaluating the Reason**: - Since the mass of one proton is indeed 1837 times the mass of an electron, the reason (R) is **true**. ### Conclusion: - Assertion (A) is false. - Reason (R) is true. Thus, the correct answer is that Assertion (A) is false, and Reason (R) is true. ### Final Answer: - Assertion (A) is false, Reason (R) is true.

To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both statements carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: The assertion states that the total mass of the protons of a boron atom is 6185 times the total mass of electrons. 2. **Determining the Mass of Protons and Electrons**: ...
