Assertion (A): Two clays with identical chemical analyses can behave quite differently in a body.
Reason (R): The same oxides can be combined into different minerals with different properties.

  • 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: D

Both are true and the reason gives the cause: an oxide analysis is blind to mineralogy, so kaolinite and a mixture of gibbsite with quartz might report the same figures while behaving nothing alike in forming or firing.
