The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "Spotted cuscus and marsupial mole are the examples of marsupial radiation." - **Understanding Marsupial Radiation**: Marsupial radiation refers to the adaptive radiation of marsupials, which are a group of mammals characterized by giving birth to relatively undeveloped young that typically continue to develop in a pouch. - **Examples**: The spotted cuscus (a type of marsupial) and the marsupial mole (another marsupial) are indeed examples of this adaptive radiation, as they have evolved to occupy different ecological niches in their environment. **Conclusion for Step 1**: The assertion is true. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Both are found in the Australian region." - **Geographical Distribution**: Marsupials, including the spotted cuscus and marsupial mole, are primarily found in Australia and surrounding areas, such as Tasmania and New Guinea. - **Relation to Assertion**: While this statement is true, it does not directly explain why the spotted cuscus and marsupial mole are examples of marsupial radiation. **Conclusion for Step 2**: The reason is true, but it does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship - Both the assertion and reason are true statements. - However, the reason does not adequately explain the assertion. **Final Conclusion**: The answer is option B: Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ---

For Question 19-20 use the figure above A lamp shade with a circular base is an example of a solid shape called a frustrum. In the figure above, the shaded region represents a frustrum of a right cone in which the portion of the original cone that lies 12 inches below its vertex has been cut off by slicing plane (not shown) parallel to the base. Q. If the height and slant height of the frustrum are 8 inches and 10 inches, respectively, what is the number of inches in the radius length, R, of the original cone?

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.
