Assertion (A): | Competition leads to decrease in the fitness of one species in the presence of another species |
Reason (R): | Competing species either compete for same resources or one species reduces feeding efficiency of another species. |
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. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Assertion (A): | In the presence of competitively superior species, the distribution of another species is restricted to a small geographical area. |
Reason (R): | Competitively superior species reduces the intrinsic rate of increase of another species. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |

4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Assertion (A): | The cattle egrets and grazing cattles show commensalism. |
Reason (R): | Egrets catch those insects which are found due to cattle grazing. |
