Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion (A) : $I_2O_5$ is used to detect CO.

Reason (R) : In $I_2O_5$, the oxidation number of I is +5.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false
• D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

Answer 2

Answer (b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

Assertion : $I_2O_5$ is used to detect CO. (Correct)

Reason : In $I_2O_5$, the oxidation number of I is +5. (True and not correct explanation)
