Reason (R): Ammonia solution turns blue litmus  paper red.  

Directions: In the following questions, a statement  of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of  reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:  

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

(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but  reason (R) is not the correct explanation of  assertion (A).  (c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.  

(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.  

Answer 

Here,

• And Bases turn red litmus paper to blue

Thus,

• Assertion is true
• Reasoning is false , as Ammonia turns red litmus to blue
  
  

So, the correct answer is (c)
