Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A: The distribution efficiency is an important parameter of uniform water application in surface irrigation method design. Reason R: The concept of uniformity coefficient used in sprinkler irrigation system design is similar to distribution efficiency in surface irrigation system. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
• Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
• Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
• A is correct but R is not correct
• A is not correct but R is correct

• A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
• C. A is correct but R is not correct
• D. A is not correct but R is correct

Hint:

Important irrigation uniformity concepts:
• Surface irrigation \(\rightarrow\) Distribution efficiency
• Sprinkler irrigation \(\rightarrow\) Uniformity coefficient Both evaluate: \[ \boxed{ \text{Uniformity of water application} } \] Better uniformity means:
• Better crop growth
• Lower water loss
• Higher irrigation efficiency

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
