Assertion (A): Honey is sweet.
Reason (R): Honey is collected by honeybees.
ABoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
BBoth A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.
CA is true but R is false.
DA is false but R is true.

correct answer is: option b : Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: The assertion that honey is sweet is a factual statement. The reason that honey is collected by honeybees is also a factual statement. However, the reason does not explain why honey is sweet. The sweetness of honey is due to its high concentration of sugars like fructose and glucose.

  • Option a: While both statements are true, the reason doesn't explain the assertion. The sweetness of honey is due to its sugar content, not merely that it's collected by bees.
  • Option b: This option accurately reflects the relationship between the assertion and the reason. Both are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion.
  • Option c: The assertion (honey is sweet) is true, making this option incorrect.
  • Option d: The assertion (honey is sweet) is true, making this option incorrect. The reason (honey is collected by honeybees) is also true.
