Discussion
Read the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) carefully -
Assertion (A) : The goats from which the soft pashmina wool is collected are found on very high altitudes of 5000 meters in extreme cold.
Reason (R) : A coat of warm hair grows on goats body which protects it from extreme cold.
Choose the correct option from the following :
Answer: C
The answer is Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) explains (A).
Pashmina wool comes from the Changthangi goats of Ladakh, which live on high plateaus at around 5,000 metres, where winter temperatures fall far below freezing.
To survive this cold, the goats grow a very fine, soft and warm undercoat of hair beneath their outer coat. That warm undercoat is what the pashmina wool is made from. The reason therefore explains why these goats, living in extreme cold, are the source of such soft, warm wool.
