Assertion: Tax on imports is an example of trade barriers.


Reason: Government can use it to increase or decrease foreign trade.
The given statement presents an assertion and a reason. Let's analyze each component separately and then evaluate their relationship.
Assertion: Tax on imports is an example of trade barriers.
- Trade barriers refer to any policy or measure implemented by the government to restrict or control the flow of goods and services across national borders.
- Tax on imports, also known as import duties or tariffs, is a common trade barrier used by governments to discourage the influx of foreign goods and protect domestic industries.
- By imposing taxes on imported goods, the government can make them more expensive compared to domestically produced goods, thereby promoting local industries and reducing foreign competition.
Reason: Government can use it to increase or decrease foreign trade.
- The government has the authority to manipulate the level of trade by adjusting the tax rates on imports.
- By increasing import taxes, the government can discourage imports and reduce foreign trade, thereby protecting domestic industries and promoting self-sufficiency.
- On the other hand, reducing import taxes can encourage imports and increase foreign trade, which may be beneficial for certain industries or to promote international relations.
Now let's evaluate the relationship between the assertion and the reason:
- The assertion states that tax on imports is an example of trade barriers, which is true.
- The reason provides a valid explanation for why tax on imports is a trade barrier, as it highlights the government's ability to influence foreign trade through the manipulation of import taxes.
Based on this analysis, we can conclude that both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

From the common explanation, we can say that there are at least 16 boys sitting in the row.
Hence, Option B is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:
Only two boys sit to the left of J.
Eight boys sit between R and J.
Only three boys sit between R and M.
Inferences:
From the above references, we get two different cases:

References:
P sits fourth to the right of R.
O sits third to the left of M.
Inferences:
So, from this case 2 will be eliminated as P sits fourth to the right of R.

References:
Only three boys sit between O and H.
T sits third to the right of M.
V sits fourth to the right of O.
More than 12 boys sit between P and H.
More than seven boys sit between P and J.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get the final arrangement:

The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 12 and 924.
Let the numbers be 12p and 12q where p and q are prime to each other.
∴ LCM = 12pq
∴ 12pq = 924
⇒ pq = 77
∴ Possible pairs are (1 , 77) and (7 ,11)
Hence , required answer is 2.

Since pyramid has length ,width and height so it will be 3D

HCF = 13
Let the numbers be 13x and 13y.
Where x and y are co-prime.
∴ LCM = 13 xy
∴ 13 xy = 455

∴ Numbers are 13 × 5 = 65 and 13 × 7 = 91

Hence, Option A is correct.
