Q. 20 and 21 are ASSERTION·(A) and REASONING (R) based questions.

Mark the correct choice as
(a) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation for {A).
(b) Both {A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation for (A).
(c) (A) is true but (R) is false. (d) (A) is false but (R) is true.
