Question

Statement (I): Hailstones are hexagonal in shape.

Statement (II): Snow flakes have concentric layers.

Options

• I and II both are true.

• I and II both are false.

• I is true, and II is false.

• I is false, and II is true.

Answer 1

I is false, and II is true.

Explanation:

Hailstones are round balls of ice with a frosted appearance and are formed of concentric layers of ice, much like an onion. They do not have a hexagonal shape. On the other hand, snowflakes are always hexagonal (six-sided) in shape and display symmetrical and intricate patterns, but they do not have concentric layers. Thus, the statement that hailstones are hexagonal is false, and the statement that snowflakes have concentric layers is also incorrect; rather, snowflakes are hexagonal in shape, while hailstones have concentric layers.
