Question

Assertion (A): Check the air pressure regularly in the tyres of the vehicles.

Reason (R): It helps to reduce fuel consumption.

Options

• 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:

Regularly checking and maintaining correct tyre pressure reduces rolling resistance; lower rolling resistance means the engine uses less fuel, so fuel consumption is reduced. This is explicitly stated in the provided material.
