Assertion (A): Halogen bulbs must not be touched with bare fingers.

Reason (R): Skin oils create a hot spot that devitrifies the quartz envelope.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

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

Answer: C

The contaminated spot crystallises at the operating temperature and the envelope cracks, often within hours. The reason therefore explains the instruction precisely, and cleaning a touched bulb with alcohol before fitting rescues it. 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.
