Assertion and Reason - Physics
CMAT 2026 · Logical Reasoning · Easy · Assertion and Reason
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion [A] and the other is labelled as Reason [R].
Assertion [A]: Pressure cookers are fitted with Ebonite handles. Reason [R]: Ebonite is a good conductor of heat.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A.
Both [A] and [R] are correct and [R] is the correct explanation of [A]
- B.
Both [A] and [R] are correct and [R] is NOT the correct explanation of [A]
- C.
[A] is correct but [R] is not correct
- D.
[A] is not correct but [R] is correct
C
Explanation
Assertion [A] is correct because pressure cookers use Ebonite handles to protect the user from heat. Reason [R] is false because Ebonite is a bad conductor (insulator) of heat, which is precisely why it is used for handles.
