Question:medium

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The shapes of areas shown in the Zenithal Stereographic (Polar Case) Projection are maintained correctly.
Reason (R): In the Zenithal Stereographic (Polar Case) Projection the scales along the meridians increase away from the centre at the same rate at which they increase along the parallels.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Show Hint

A projection is conformal if the scale at any point is independent of direction. Stereographic is the only azimuthal projection that is conformal.
