Q.

Assertion: Aluminium is used to make utensils for cooking.
Reason: Aluminium is a highly reactive metal.

1 Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.  
2 Both assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.  
3 Assertion is true, but reason is false.  
4 Assertion is false, but reason is true  

Ans.

(2)

Aluminium is a highly reactive metal but it is resistant to corrosion. The reason for this is that aluminium reacts with oxygen present in air to form a thin layer of aluminium oxide. This oxide layer is very stable and prevents further reaction of aluminium with oxygen. It is light in weight and a good conductor of heat. Therefore, used to make utensils for cooking. Thus, both assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
