Question

Assertion (A): Soldiers avoid firing at a target in foggy weather conditions.

Reason (R): In foggy weather, light gets scattered by tiny water droplets, reducing visibility.

पर्याय

• (A) is true but (R) is false.

• (A) is false but (R) is true.

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

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

Answer 1

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Explanation:

In foggy conditions, tiny water droplets in the air cause significant scattering of light, which drastically reduces visibility and makes the target hard to see clearly. This reduced visibility makes accurate aiming and firing difficult for soldiers. Thus, they avoid firing in such conditions because they cannot effectively see the target.
