Question
Mark the correct choice as
- Assertion: Control rods are known as 'neutron seeking rods'
- Reason: Control rods are used to perform sustained nuclear fission reaction
Options
If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
If both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Assertion is true, but the reason is false.
Assertion is false, but the reason is true.
Solution
If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Explanation: Control rods are used to control the number of neutrons in order to have sustained the chain reaction. They absorb the neutrons, (they seeking the neutrons)
