Section B: Assertion and Reasoning Questions
Directions: Each of these questions contains an Assertion (A) and a Reason (R). Mark your answer as:
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A b) Both A and R are true but R is not the
correct explanation of A c) A is true but R is false d) A is false but R is true
1. Assertion (A): The walls of ventricles are thicker than the walls of atria. Reason (R): Ventricles
have to pump blood to distant body parts, whereas atria receive blood from various body parts.
2. Assertion (A): Plants perform photosynthesis only during the day. Reason (R): Stomata in leaves
remain closed during the night to prevent water loss.
