Assertion (A) : The colour of aqueous solution of copper sulphate turns colourless when a piece of lead is added to it.

Reason (R) : Lead is more reactive than copper, and hence displaces copper from its salt solution.

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Assertion (A) : Genes inherited from the parents decide the sex of a child.

Reason (R) : X chromosome in a male child is inherited from his father.

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

The resultant magnetic field at point 'P' situated midway between two parallel wires (placed horizontally) each carrying a steady current I is

1. in the same direction as the current in the wires.
2. in the vertically upward direction.
3. zero
4. in the vertically downward direction.

Assertion (A) : The strength of the magnetic field produced at the centre of a current carrying circular coil increases on increasing the number of turns in it.

Reason (R) : The current in each circular turn has the same direction and the magnetic field due to each turn then just adds up.
