Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
| Assertion (A): | Recycling is the best solution for the treatment of electronic waste, provided it is carried out in an environment-friendly manner. |
| Reason (R): | It can be easily done with manual participation without exposure to toxins. |
| 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. |
- If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
- If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
- If the assertion is true but the reason is false
- If both the assertion and reason are false
Slash and burn agriculture leads to nutrient-depleted soils and deforestation if:
1. crash crops are implanted rather than cereals
2. it is practiced in a sufficiently larger area
3. some useful trees are retained by the farmers
4. sufficient time is not allowed for the land to recover
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
| Assertion (A): | Ecological sanitation is a practical, hygienic, efficient, and cost-effective solution to human waste disposal. |
| Reason (R): | Ecological sanitation systems are systems that allow for the safe recycling of nutrients to crop production in such a way that the use of non-renewable resources is minimized. |
| 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. |
- If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
