The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states: "Quasar emits radio waves more than radio galaxy." - Quasars are known to be extremely powerful and energetic objects in the universe, often emitting vast amounts of energy, including radio waves. - Radio galaxies also emit radio waves, but typically, quasars are more intense in their emissions. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states: "Quasar has very small size." - Quasars are indeed very compact compared to galaxies. They are often described as having a small size relative to the vastness of galaxies. - However, the size of a quasar does not directly correlate to the amount of radio waves it emits. ### Step 3: Evaluate the Truth of Each Statement - **Assertion (A)**: True. Quasars do emit more radio waves than radio galaxies. - **Reason (R)**: True. Quasars are relatively small in size compared to galaxies. ### Step 4: Determine the Relationship Between A and R - Although both statements are true, the reason (R) does not explain the assertion (A). The size of a quasar does not determine its ability to emit radio waves; rather, it is the energy and processes occurring within the quasar that lead to its high radio wave emissions. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the answer is: **Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.** ---
