Question:hard
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Moisture content of a fruit or a vegetable expressed on wet basis is always greater than the moisture content expressed on dry basis.
Reason (R) : Moisture on wet basis is expressed with reference to total weight of the sample instead of its dry matter content.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Show Hint
Remember that dry basis moisture content can exceed 100% (e.g., highly moist biological materials like fresh fruits can have dry basis moisture contents of 400% or more).
Conversely, wet basis moisture content can never exceed or even reach 100% for any real, physical sample.
