Question

Assertion (A): The length of day and night is six months at the poles.

Reason (R): The axis of the Earth is tilted.

विकल्प

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct reason for A.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct reason for A.

• A is true and R is false.

• A is false and R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true and R is the correct reason for A.

Explanation:

At the poles, the Earth’s axis tilt causes continuous daylight for about six months, followed by six months of night. This tilt results in the long day and night periods experienced at the poles. Hence, the assertion and reason are both true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
