Assertion: In anaerobic sludge digestors, other kinds of bacteria, which grow aerobically, digest the bacteria and the fungi in the sludge Reason: During this digestion, bacteria produce a mixture of gas known as chemogas and can be used as source of energy as it is inflammable
Options
- ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
- BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- CAssertion is true but the Reason is false
- DBoth Assertion and Reason are false
