Q. No.Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A):
There is no limitation on the number of trophic levels in a detritus food chain.
Reason (R):
The transfer of energy between successive trophic levels in a detritus food chain does not follow the 10% rule.

1.
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2.
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3.
(A) is true but (R) is false.
4.
Both (A) and (R) are false.
