The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion-reason question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion - **Assertion (A)**: Glyptal is a copolymer. - A copolymer is a polymer made from two different types of monomers. - Glyptal is synthesized from two monomers: Ethylene Glycol and Phthalic Acid. - Therefore, Glyptal is indeed a copolymer. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason - **Reason (R)**: Network polymers have high molecular mass. - Network polymers are characterized by their three-dimensional structures formed by cross-linking of polymer chains. - These polymers typically have high molecular masses due to the extensive bonding between chains. - Thus, the statement that network polymers have high molecular mass is correct. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship - Both the assertion and the reason are true statements. - However, the reason provided does not explain why Glyptal is a copolymer. The fact that network polymers have high molecular mass does not relate to the definition or characteristics of Glyptal as a copolymer. ### Conclusion - Since both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion, the correct answer is: - **Option B**: Both assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. ---
