Assertion (A): A cement producer aims for a mean strength well above the grade minimum.
Reason (R): Test results vary from batch to batch, and the minimum must be met by nearly all of them.

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

Answer: C

Both are true and the reason gives the statistics: if the mean sat on the limit then roughly half the batches would fail, so the target is set some way above according to the observed variability. A more consistent process can run closer to the limit safely.
