Question

Assertion (A): Curtains can be used for both practical and decorative purposes.

Reason (R): Windows were traditionally covered with three types of curtains.

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:

• Assertion (A) is true because curtains provide functionality like light control and privacy while also enhancing room aesthetics.
• Reason (R) is also true because traditional window styling used a three-layer system consisting of sash curtains, draw curtains, and draperies.
• However, the historical practice of using three layers does not explain the underlying cause of why curtains hold both practical and decorative purposes.
