Assertion: A suspended particulate matter (SPM) is an important pollutant released by diesel vehicles.
Reason: Catalytic converters greatly reduce pollution caused by automobiles.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(e) If the Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
Explanation:
Catalytic converters are involved in reducing gaseous pollutions by converting CO → CO2, NO2 → N2 etc. Thus, decrease the amount of pollutant. They can not reduce emission of SPM.
