The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "a planet is a heavenly body revolving around the sun." - By definition, a planet is indeed a celestial body that orbits a star (in our case, the Sun). This statement is correct. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "a star is a luminous body made of gases." - This statement is also correct. Stars, including our Sun, are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gases and produce light through nuclear fusion processes. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - While both statements are correct, we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - The assertion is specifically about planets, while the reason discusses stars. There is no direct relationship between the two statements in terms of explanation. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are correct, but the reason does not provide a valid explanation for the assertion. Therefore, we conclude that the assertion is true, the reason is true, but the reason does not explain the assertion. ### Final Answer: - Assertion: True - Reason: True - The reason does not explain the assertion. ---
