Assertion (A)- China is the largest nation and geographically occupies the largest area among the three nations, but its density is the lowest.

Reason (R)- If we look at the global population, out of every six persons living in this world, one is an Indian and another a Chinese.

Options:

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation.

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

(A) Is true but (R) is false.

(A) Is false but (R) is true.

Correct Answer:

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Explanation:

China has low density of population because it has a large area. Thus when we divide total population by the area of land, density decreases (because area is large). Also, China and India are the most populated countries of the world.
