Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A is correct but R is not correct
Assertion A: Silver is not used to make electric wires. True. Household and power wiring is made of copper or aluminium, not silver, because silver is far too costly to use in such large amounts.
Reason R: Silver is a bad conductor. False. Silver is the best conductor of electricity among metals, slightly better than copper.
