Assertion (A): A discharged battery should be left discharged until it is next needed.

Reason (R): Lead sulphate crystallises into a hard form when a battery stands discharged.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • 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

The reason is correct and it is precisely why the assertion is wrong: standing discharged is what causes the permanent capacity loss. A maintenance charger keeps the sulphate in its soft convertible form indefinitely. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. A symptom that appears under one condition and not another is what narrows the diagnosis quickly.
