Assertion (A) : Baking soda creates acidity in the stomach. 

Reason (R) : Baking soda is alkaline.

  • 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: D

Correct answer: A is false but R is true.

Baking soda, sodium bicarbonate, is indeed alkaline, so R is true. But that is why it relieves acidity: it neutralises the excess hydrochloric acid in the stomach. It does not create acidity, so A is false.
