Q. No.Assertion: In a food chain, members of successive higher levels are fewer in number.
Reason: Number of organisms at any trophic level depends upon the availability of organisms which serve as food at the lower level.

2. Both Assertion & Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
3. Assertion is true statement but Reason is false.
4. Both Assertion and Reason are false statements.

Consider the following statements
concerning food chains
i) Removal of 80% tigers from an area
resulted in greatly increased growth of
vegetation.
ii) Removal of most of the carnivores
resulted in an increased population of
deers.
iii) The length of food chains is generally
limited to 3 – 4 trophic levels due to energy loss.
iv) The length of food chains may vary from
2 to 8 trophic levels.

1. i and ii
2. ii and iii
3. iii and iv
4. i and iv
