Assertion (A): Udaipur is also known as the City of lakes.

Reason (R): Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake by volume in the world 

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 2 : Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

• Udaipur, also known as the "City of Lakes" is a city in the state of Rajasthan in India. There are many lakes in Udaipur. So the assertion is true.
• Lake Baikal is an ancient freshwater lake and a massive lake in the mountainous Russian region of Siberia, north of the Mongolian border. It is considered the deepest lake and the largest by volume in the world. So, the reason is also true.

But the assertion and reason are independently true.

Hence, the reason is not the correct explanation of the above assertion.
