MCQ
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A$ : Boric acid is a weak acid

Reason $R$ : Boric acid is not able to release $H ^{+}$ion on its own. It receives $OH ^{-}$ion from water and releases $H ^{+}$ion.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is NOT the correct explanation of $A$
  • C
    $A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct
  • D
    $A$ is not correct but $R$ is correct

Answer

Correct option: A.
Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
