Read the following Assertion and its Reason and choose the correct answer.

Assertion (A) : Without worker-bee, there would be neither beehieve nor any nectar collection.
Reason (R) : The male bees have very special role as workers.

  • A.Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  • B.(A) is true but (R) is false.
  • C.(A) is false but (R) is true.
  • D.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Answer: B

The answer is (A) is true but (R) is false.

The assertion is true: worker bees build and maintain the hive, collect nectar and pollen, feed the larvae and guard the colony, so without them there would be neither a beehive nor nectar collection.

The reason is false. Worker bees are female. Male bees (drones) do no work in the hive; their only role is to mate with a queen. So the reason gives the workers' role to the wrong bees.
