Question

Assertion (A): There is an urgent need to reuse waste material wherever possible.

Reason (R): Most of the natural resources are limited in supply.

Options

• Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

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

• A is true, but R is false.

• A is false, but R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

Assertion is true because reusing waste materials decreases the continuous demand for new products. Reason is also true and correctly explains A, as natural resources are finite and limited, making it vital to extend the life of existing materials through reuse to prevent resource depletion.
