MCQ
For two statements are given $-$ one labelled Assertion $(A)$ and the other labelled Reason $(R).$ Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $\ce{(a), (b), (c)}$ and $(d)$ as given below :
Assertion : Using jute bags while shopping is more environment friendly as compared to polythene bags.
Reason : Jute is biodegradable, whereas polythene bag is non $-$ biodegradable.
  • ✓
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • C
    $A$ is true, but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ is false, but $R$ is true.
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
Jute bags can be reused repeatedly for shopping and get decomposed when discarded. Poly bags on the other hand keep on accumulating as solid waste and harm our environment. They can clog drainage, pollute river bodies and are extremely dangerous to grazing animals who chew them mistakenly. So, jute bags are more environment friendly than poly bags.
