Question

Assertion (A): Carbon and its compounds are our major sources of fuels.
Reason (R): Most of the carbon compounds on burning release a large amount of heat and light.

• A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
• B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
• D. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Hint:

Burning carbon compounds like coal and oil releases energy in the form of heat and light, which is why they are used as fuel sources.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Fuels primarily consist of carbon compounds like coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
Burning these compounds yields substantial energy as heat and light, explaining their fuel application.Therefore, the statement (A) and its explanation (R) are both valid, with (R) clarifying (A).
