Assertion(A)     : Some water should be sprinkled over dry food before heating them in microwave.

Reason(R)        : Microwaves heat food by heating water and oil in them.

 

1.

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

 

2.

Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

 

3.

A is true but R is false.

 

4.

A is false but R is true.

 

5.

Both A and R are false.

 

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 :

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

 

Microwaves work on the principle of vibrating water or oil particles when they interact with microwave radiation. As dry food has lower water content, it is difficult to heat in a microwave. Thus, water is sprinkled on dry food before putting it into a microwave oven. So, option 1 is correct.
