Assertion (A): A bird perches on an electric power line but nothing happens to the bird.
Reason (R) : The level of bird on the power line is quite high above the ground.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution
