Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Age-structure pyramids for the population of a country not only predict a population’s growth trends but can also illuminate social conditions.
Reason (R): These pyramids show the distribution of various age groups in a population, typically that of a country or region of the world.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
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.

  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false
  4. If both the assertion and reason are false

Identify the correct statement:

1.  Eutrophic lakes contain fewer nutrients than oligotrophic lakes.
2.  Xerarch succession is a primary succession that occurs in water bodies.
3.  Most ecologists believe that most communities achieve stable, unchanging climax vegetation.
4.  A mature ecosystem has greater species richness, greater biomass, and less net productivity than a younger stage of succession.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Ecologically similar species can coexist in a community if one or more significant differences in their niches arise through time.
Reason (R): Two species cannot coexist permanently in a community if their niches are identical.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
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.
