The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements, we will break down the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion - **Assertion**: "The sounds which cannot be heard pleasantly is called noise." - This statement defines noise as unpleasant sounds. Noise is generally characterized by its disruptive or irritating nature, which can cause discomfort to the listener. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason - **Reason**: "The sound above 80 dB becomes painful." - This statement refers to the decibel (dB) scale, which measures sound intensity. Sounds above 80 dB are often considered loud enough to cause discomfort or pain to the human ear. ### Step 3: Analyze the Relationship - The assertion states that noise is unpleasant, while the reason provides a threshold (80 dB) above which sounds can be painful. - Sounds that exceed 80 dB can indeed be classified as noise because they are likely to be unpleasant and potentially painful to hear. ### Step 4: Conclusion - Both the assertion and the reason are true. The assertion correctly defines noise, and the reason accurately describes a characteristic of loud sounds. Therefore, both statements support each other. ### Final Answer - **Both the assertion and the reason are true.** ---
