MCQ
Two statements are given$-$ one labelled Assertion $(A)$ and the other labelled Reason $(R).$ Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $\text{(a), (b), (c)}$ and $(d)$ as given below:
Assertion $(A):\ Au$ and $Ag$ are extracted by leaching their ores with a dil. solution of $\text{NaCN}.$
Reason $(R):\ $ Impurities associated with these ores dissolve in $\text{NaCN}.$
  • A
    Both Assertion $(A)$ and Reason $(R)$ are correct statements, and Reason $(R)$ is the correct explanation of the Assertion $(A).$
  • B
    Both Assertion $(A)$ and Reason $(R)$ are correct statements, but Reason $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of the Assertion $(A).$
  • Assertion $(A)$ is correct, but Reason $(R)$ is incorrect statement.
  • D
    Assertion $(A)$ is incorrect, but Reason $(R)$ is correct statement.

Answer
