Q1. Assertion: Teak trees are mostly found in the southern part of Rajasthan. Reason: Teak can bear extreme cold and frost.
A Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
B The assertion is false, but the reason is true
C The assertion is true, but the reason is false Correct
D Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
Explanation
Teak occurs mainly in the relatively moist southern part of Rajasthan, especially in districts such as Udaipur, Dungarpur and Banswara, so the assertion is correct. The reason is not correct because teak is sensitive to severe cold and frost; it prefers warm conditions and does not thrive under extreme frost. Therefore, the statement saying both are true is unsuitable, as is the statement saying the assertion is false. The statement that both are true with the reason explaining the assertion also fails because the reason itself is false.
