Question

Assertion (A): Strings of different thicknesses are provided on a stringed instrument.

Reason (R): Notes of different frequencies can be obtained by producing vibrations in different strings having different thicknesses.

Options

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

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correction explanation of Assertion.

• Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

• Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

The assertion is true because stringed instruments have strings of different thicknesses. These strings vibrate at different frequencies and produce notes of different frequencies, so the reason correctly explains the assertion.
