Assertion (A) : An iron ball floats on mercury but gets immersed in water.
Reason (R) : The specific gravity of iron is more than that of mercury.

  • 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.

Answer: C

Correct answer: A is true but R is false.

An iron ball does float on mercury and sink in water, so A is true. But the reason is the reverse of what is stated: iron’s specific gravity, about 7.9, is less than mercury’s 13.6 and greater than water’s 1. R is false.
