Assertion (A): Zirconia for structural use contains an addition of yttria or magnesia.
Reason (R): The stabiliser retains the tetragonal phase in a metastable state at room temperature.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Both are true and the reason gives the purpose: the toughening depends on the transformation being available to happen at a crack tip, which requires the tetragonal phase to be present and poised rather than already converted.
