Question

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Tides indicate the regular and periodic rise and fall in the sea level.
Reasons (R): Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sea level.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Assertion (A) is correct: Tides are the consistent rise and fall of sea levels. Reason (R) is incorrect: Though tides are influenced by the moon's gravity, the sun's gravity also plays a role. It is not just the moon that affects tides and sea level.
