    Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as

    Assertion: The knowledge of Albedo helps us to estimate the atmosphere of a planet. Reason: The clouds are not good reflectors of light.

    A)  If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion

    B)  If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion

    C)  If Assertion is true but Reason is false

    D)  If both Assertion and Reason are false

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The term Albedo explains the reflecting power of planet to reflect the light which is incident on it. As the clouds are good reflectors of light, thus, the presence of clouds on a planet increases the reflecting power of planet. Hence, with the knowledge of Albedo we can confirm the presence of atmosphere clouds at the planet.
