Question:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A: Srinagar is colder than Delhi.

Reason R: Srinagar is at higher altitude as compared to Delhi.

In the light of given statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Options:

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

Correct Answer:

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

Explanation:

Srinagar is indeed at a higher altitude than Delhi, and this is the primary factor that makes it colder than Delhi.

The altitude difference plays a significant role in determining the temperature of a place, with higher elevations typically experiencing colder temperatures due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure and the resulting lower air density.

Therefore, the statement "Srinagar is at higher altitude as compared to Delhi" is the correct explanation for why Srinagar is colder than Delhi.

Thus, Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A is correct.
