Q1.The following question consists of two statements – Assertion (A) and
Reason (R).
Answer the question by selecting the appropriate option given below:
Assertion: The eardrum plays a crucial role in the hearing process..

Reason: The eardrum is a thin stretched membrane located at the end of


the ear canal.

(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.


(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(d) A is false but R is true.
Q2.Assertion: Sound waves do not travel through a vacuum.
Reason: The speed of sound is too small when compared to the
speed of light.
