Question 40

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion [A] and the other is labelled as Reason [R].
Assertion [A]: Pressure cookers are fitted with Ebonite handles.
Reason [R]: Ebonite is a good conductor of heat.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Assertion [A] is true because pressure cookers use Ebonite (a hard vulcanized rubber) for handles to prevent burns.
Reason [R] is false because Ebonite is actually a poor conductor (insulator) of heat, which is precisely why it is used soΒ it stays cool even while the metal pot is hot.
thus, the correct answer is Option C.
