Assertion: geophysical survey should be calibrated against boreholes. Reason: it measures a physical property rather than identifying the material directly.

  • A.both the assertion and the reason are true but the reason does not explain the assertion
  • B.the assertion is true but the reason given for it is false
  • C.the assertion is false although the reason offered is a true statement in itself
  • D.both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason explains the assertion

Answer: D

Correct answer: both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason explains the assertion

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism. Geophysics measures velocity, resistivity or density, none of which identifies a material on its own - the same resistivity may mean a saturated sand or a clay. A borehole at one point on the traverse ties the measured property to the actual ground, and the survey then extends that identification along the line.
