Assertion (A): Coal is considered a fossil fuel because it was formed ...
- Assertion (A) is correct. Coal is indeed considered a fossil fuel because it was formed from the remains of vegetation that underwent carbonisation over millions of years.
- Reason (R) is also correct. The slow process of conversion of dead vegetation into coal is termed carbonisation, a key factor in the formation of coal.
- However, Reason (R) does not provide a direct explanation for Assertion (A). While both statements are true, the reason does not directly explain why coal is considered a fossil fuel. Hence, the correct option is B: If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

Assertion (A): Coal is considered a fossil fuel because it was formed ...
Explanation:
Assertion (A):
- Coal is considered a fossil fuel because it was formed from the remains of vegetation.
Reason (R):
- The slow process of conversion of dead vegetation into coal is called carbonisation.
Explanation:
- Both Assertion and Reason are true in this case. Coal is indeed considered a fossil fuel because it was formed from the remains of vegetation over millions of years. The slow process of conversion of dead vegetation into coal is known as carbonisation.
- However, the reason provided does not directly explain why coal is considered a fossil fuel. While carbonisation is the process through which coal is formed from dead vegetation, it does not explicitly connect the formation process to why coal falls under the category of fossil fuels.
- Therefore, option 'B' is the correct choice as both Assertion and Reason are true, but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
Assertion (A): Coal is considered a fossil fuel because it was formed ...
Coal considered a fossil fuel because it is formed from the dead vegetation and the conversation of dead vegetation into coal is called carbonization
But the reason doesn't explain the assertion.
So, the correct option is B the correct
the suitable reason would be :-
Assertion (A): Coal is considered a fossil fuel because it was formed from the remains of vegetation.
Reason (R): Coal is considered a fossil fuel because it was formed from the remains of dead vegetation over millions of years, resulting in a concentrated source of energy that can be extracted and used to power human activities.
