Question

Assertion (A): When ciliary muscles contract, eye lens becomes thin.

Reason (R): Ciliary muscles control the power of the eye lens.

विकल्प

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Explanation:

The lens thickens rather than thins as the ciliary muscles contract. To focus on objects at various distances, they modify the curvature and power of the lens.
