Answer 1

(3)

Explanation:

Concentrated sulphuric acid is kept in air-tight bottles because it is highly hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from the air. Therefore, the Assertion (A) is true.

Air containing impurities is not the reason for keeping concentrated sulphuric acid in air-tight bottles. Therefore, the Reason (R) is false.

Hence, A is true but R is false.
