There are two statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark your answer as per the options given below.
Assertion: Fuelwood, agricultural waste and dried dung are considered non-commercial sources of energy .
Reasoning:Fuelwood, agricultural waste and dried dung are not available in the market on a large scale.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
Assertion (A) is true because fuelwood, agricultural waste, and dried dung are indeed considered non-commercial sources of energy, as they are commonly used for domestic purposes in rural areas and are not typically traded commercially.
Reason (R) is also true and correctly explains the assertion. These sources of energy are usually not available in the market on a large scale since they are primarily used in rural households and are not part of the formal commercial energy sector.
