Question

Assertion (A): The grid of the parallels and meridians helps to find location of any place.

Reason (R): The North Pole and the South Pole act as the reference points.

पर्याय

• 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:

The grid system of parallels (latitudes) and meridians (longitudes) is used to locate any place on Earth accurately. The North Pole and South Pole are key reference points for measuring these coordinates, with meridians meeting at the poles. Hence, the poles act as crucial reference points in the coordinate system.
