Assertion : Pure iron when heated in dry air is covered with a layer of rust. Reason : Rust has the composition Fe ₃ O ₄ .

Options

  1. AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. BIfboth assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
  4. DIf both assertion and reason are false.

Correct answer

D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Step-by-step solution
