Characteristic X-rays are produced due to

Assertion Energy of characteristic X-rays in more than the energy of continuous X-rays Reason Charactersitic X-rays are produced due to transition of electrons from higher energy states to lower energy states.

(A): Gamma rays are more energetic than X-rays (R) : Gamma rays are of nuclear origin but X-rays are produced due to sudden deceleration of high energy electron while falling on a metal of high atomic number
