The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question regarding maize grain, we will break down the statements and evaluate their correctness step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "The storage region of maize grain is whitish or yellow." - This statement is true. The endosperm of maize (corn) grains, which serves as the storage tissue, is typically whitish or yellow in color. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "it is rich in protein granules." - This statement is false. Maize grain is primarily composed of starch, making it rich in carbohydrates rather than protein. While there are some proteins present, they are not the main component of maize grain. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship Between A and R**: - The assertion is correct, while the reason is incorrect. Therefore, the relationship between the two statements is that the assertion is true, but the reason provided does not support the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - The final evaluation is that the assertion (A) is true, and the reason (R) is false. ### Final Answer: - Assertion (A) is correct. - Reason (R) is incorrect. ---

Assertion (A) : Non-stoichiometric compounds are called Bertholide compounds. NaCl and KCl crystal, when heated in an atmosphere of Na and K varpours, respectively, they impart violet and yellow colours to NaCl and KCl , respectively. Reason (R ) : Metal excess defect is due to the presence of extra cations atg the interstitial sites. The excess metal ions move to the interstitial sites and the electrons to the neighbouring sites. The colour results byt the excitation of these electrons by absorbing suitable energy from visible light. When the excited electroon comes back to the ground state, there is emission of radiation in the visible region and gives complimentary colour.
