The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that bronze contains 80% Sn (tin), 10% Cu (copper), and 10% Zn (zinc). - This is incorrect because bronze is primarily an alloy of copper and tin, with typical compositions being around 90% copper and 10% tin. Zinc is not a major component of bronze. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided states that bronze gets corroded in the presence of air and water. - This statement is also incorrect. Bronze is known for its resistance to corrosion, especially compared to other metals. It does not easily corrode when exposed to air and water. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we can conclude that neither statement is correct. 4. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the correct option is that both the assertion and the reason are false.
