Assertion (A): A raw meal may meet its residue specification and still burn badly.
Reason (R): The residue figure says nothing about which mineral the coarse particles are.

  • 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

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism. Coarse calcite reacts readily, but coarse quartz does not: it must be reached to its centre by solid-state diffusion, and a large grain cannot be. Two meals with identical residues therefore burn quite differently according to what the residue consists of, which is why the coarse fraction is examined mineralogically.
