The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements: the assertion (A) and the reason (R). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "A dynamo converts mechanical energy into electrical energy." - This statement is true. A dynamo is indeed a type of electrical generator that transforms mechanical energy (usually from a rotating motion) into electrical energy. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "The dynamo is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction." - This statement is also true. The functioning of a dynamo relies on electromagnetic induction, which occurs when a conductor (like a coil) is moved through a magnetic field, inducing an electromotive force (EMF). 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - We need to determine if the reason (R) correctly explains the assertion (A). - Since the dynamo operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, the reason does indeed provide a correct explanation for the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. - Therefore, the answer is: **Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.** ### Final Answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. ---
