Discussion
Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and other labelled as Reason (R). Select your answer from codes given below :
Assertion (A) : The salinity in Dead Sea is very low.
Reason (R) : Dead Sea is located in tropical dry climatic region, where evaporation is high, precipitation is low and here drainage is internal.
Codes :
Answer: C
The Assertion is wrong and the Reason is right. The Dead Sea is among the saltiest water bodies on earth, with salinity around 30 per cent or more, not very low. The Reason is a true statement: it lies in a hot dry region with high evaporation, low precipitation and internal drainage, and these are exactly why its salinity is so high.
The options saying (A) is right, or both are right, fail because the Dead Sea's salinity is very high. The option saying both are wrong fails because the Reason is a correct description of the setting.
