Question:
Assertion: In case of vegetatively propagated crops, pure-line selection is not required.
Reasoning::Hybrid vigour is mostly used in vegetatively propagated plants.
Options:
Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct.

Correct Answer:
Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Hybrids vigour is most profitably used in vegetatively propagated crops because they do not involve sexual reproduction and hence loss of hybrid superiority
