A: Properties of copolymers are similar to homopolymers.
R:Copolymers are obtained by elimination of small molecules.

Options

A. If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark 1.
B. If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark 2.
C. If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark 3.
D. If both Assertion and Reason are false statements the mark 4.

Answer

To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided:

### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion
- **Assertion (A):** "Properties of copolymers are similar to homopolymers."
- **Explanation:** Copolymers are made from two or more different types of monomers, while homopolymers are made from only one type of monomer. Due to the difference in the types of monomers used, copolymers and homopolymers generally exhibit different properties. Therefore, the assertion is **incorrect**.

### Step 2: Analyze the Reason
- **Reason (R):** "Copolymers are obtained by elimination of small molecules."
- **Explanation:** This statement is misleading. Copolymers can be formed through addition polymerization, where no small molecules are eliminated. The elimination of small molecules is characteristic of condensation polymerization, which typically involves the formation of polymers from two different monomers with the release of small molecules (like water or carbon dioxide). Therefore, the reason is also **incorrect**.

### Step 3: Conclusion
- Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, the correct answer is that both statements are false.

### Final Answer
Both assertion and reason are false.
