Question

Assertion (A): A kitchen should be airy, well-lit and properly ventilated.

Reason (R): The ceiling of the kitchen should be painted preferably white to reflect light well.

Options

• 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 and R is not the correct explanation of A.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

The source states a kitchen “should be airy, well-lit and properly ventilated” and also says “The ceiling of the kitchen should be painted preferably white or in a pastel shade to reflect light well,” so both statements are true. Painting the ceiling white helps with lighting (well-lit) but does not explain the need for airiness or proper ventilation, so R is not the full/correct explanation of A.
