Q3. You are to examine these two statements carefully and decide if the Assertion (A) &
Reason (R) are individually true and if so, whether the R is a correct explanation of A.
Assertion (A): Nichrome wire is commonly used in heating elements for electrical
appliances.
Reason (R): Nichrome has high resistance, which leads to efficient heat production
when current passes through it.
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.
