Q.
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : The outer body of an air craft is made of metal which protects persons sitting inside from lightning strikes.

Reason (R) : The electric field inside the cavity enclosed by a conductor is zero.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: [2025]

1 Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

2 (A) is correct but (R) is not correct

3 Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

4 (A) is not correct but (R) is correct
