13. A thermal power plant pollutes the environment-Explain.

II. Assertion and Reason question.

Assertion(A): LEDs use very less electricity that an ordinary bulb to produce
the same amount of life.
Reason(R): LEDs do not produce heat, hence all the electricity that is used
gets converted into light energy.
a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
b) Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct explanation of A.
c) A is true but R is false.
d) A is false but R is true.
