Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Metal sculptures are made from cire perdue technique. Reason (R): It involves casting of bronze through the lost wax method. 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:

Remember the important facts about cire perdue: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \textit{Cire Perdue} &\rightarrow \text{Lost-Wax Casting}, \text{Material} &\rightarrow \text{Bronze and Other Metals}, \text{Process} &\rightarrow \text{Wax Model } \rightarrow \text{Mould } \rightarrow \text{Molten Metal}, \text{Examples} &\rightarrow \text{Dancing Girl, Chola Bronzes}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “Cire Perdue = Lost Wax = Bronze Casting.”
