Given below are assertion and reason. Dried seeds of Pea are kept in tin, water is poured over them upto upper level. A lid is put tihgt over it. Within an hour the lid is blown off Reason. Due to rapid cell division in Pea seeds

Options

A. if both are ture with reason being correct explanation (A),
B. both ture but reason is not correct explanation (B),
C. Assertion ture but reason is wrong (C),
D. both are wrong (D),

Answer

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that dried pea seeds are placed in a tin, water is poured over them, and after an hour, the lid is blown off. This suggests that some process is causing an increase in pressure inside the tin.

2. **Identifying the Process**: When dried seeds are placed in water, they undergo a process called imbibition. Imbibition is the absorption of water by seeds, which causes them to swell. This is due to the water moving from an area of higher concentration (the water) to an area of lower concentration (the dry seeds).

3. **Analyzing the Reason**: The reason given states that the lid is blown off due to rapid cell division in the pea seeds. However, this is not accurate. While seeds do eventually undergo cell division when they germinate, the immediate cause of the lid being blown off is not cell division but rather the swelling of the seeds due to water absorption.

4. **Conclusion**: The assertion is true because the lid is indeed blown off, but the reason provided is false because it incorrectly attributes the cause to rapid cell division instead of imbibition.

5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the correct conclusion is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false.
