Question 13

Assertion (A): Steel plant at Visakhapatnam has to import coal from Australia.

Reason (R): India has huge deposits of high grade iron ore.

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false but R is true.
Answer

Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.
