Question

Assertion (A): Trees should be planted on the roadsides and around the industrial units.

Reason (R): Trees help to absorb noise from the traffic.

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:

Trees planted along roadsides and around industrial units act as barriers that absorb and reduce traffic noise (and also help curb air pollution), so the reason correctly explains the assertion.
