Read the following statements :

Assertion (A) : Anodizing is a method to prevent metal from corrosion.
Reason (R) : Anodizing is a process of coating iron with a layer of zinc.

Choose the correct option.

  • A.Both A and R are true and R is the correct reason for A
  • B.Both A and R are true but R is not the correct reason for A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.Both A and R are false

Answer: C

A is true but R is false.

Anodizing is an electrolytic process that thickens the natural oxide layer on a metal, usually aluminium. The tough oxide coat protects the metal from corrosion, so the Assertion is correct.

The Reason describes a different process. Coating iron with a layer of zinc is galvanization, not anodizing. Since R is false, it cannot explain A, and the options calling it true or calling A false are wrong.
