Assertion (A): A map intended for photocopying in black and white should encode its categories with texture rather than hue.
Reason (R): Different hues of similar lightness become indistinguishable when reduced to grey.

  • 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

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

Both are true and the reason is the cause. Photocopying discards hue and keeps only lightness, so a red and a green of similar value collapse to the same grey and the categories become indistinguishable. Texture, pattern and hatching survive the reduction because they differ in structure rather than in colour - and the same reasoning underlies designing for colour vision deficiency.
