reason does not explain assertion. Hence
correct option is (b).
2. Here assertion is false but reason is true
since for heavier nucleus binding energy per
nucleon is least.
Correct option is (d).
3. Here both assertion and reason are true but
reason is not correct explanation of
assertion. Hence correct option is (b).
4. Here a ssertion is true but reason is false
since electromagnetic waves are produced
by accelerating charge particles.
Correct option is (c).
