Read the following statements and choose the correct option.
Assertion (A) : Biomass and Fossil Fuels are the two main conventional sources of energy.
Reason (R) : Conventional sources are those which are renewable in nature.
Answer: A
The answer is (A) is true, but (R) is false.
The assertion follows the textbook classification: firewood and other biomass, together with fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas, are the main conventional sources of energy, used on a large scale for a long time.
The reason is false. 'Conventional' means long and widely used, not renewable. Fossil fuels in particular are non-renewable, since they formed over millions of years and are being used up far faster than they form. Renewable sources such as solar and wind energy are usually grouped as non-conventional sources.
