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: "Ignition temperature is the minimum temperature at which a substance catches fire." - This statement is **true**. Ignition temperature is indeed defined as the lowest temperature at which a substance will ignite and start to burn. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states: "All substances catch fire at the same temperature." - This statement is **false**. Different substances have different ignition temperatures. For example, paper ignites at a lower temperature than wood or gasoline. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false. The reason does not correctly explain the assertion because it incorrectly generalizes that all substances ignite at the same temperature. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct conclusion is that the assertion is true, but the reason is not a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer: - The correct answer is: **Assertion is True, Reason is False**.

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: "Ignition temperature is the minimum temperature at which a substance catches fire." - This statement is **true**.
