Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Traditionally metal castings are both hollow and solid. Reason (R): Electric kilns fitted with carbon and rod elements and not wires, are ideal for baking moulds. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• 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:

Logic Tip: Hollow vs solid casting relates to mould design, not kiln heating elements.
