Assertion (A) : A convex lens is called a convergent lens but a concave lens acts as a divergent lens. Reason (R) : A convergent lens is that which always forms a real image of a real object and a divergent lens is that which can never form a real image.

1.	Assertion (A) : A convex lens is called a convergent lens but a concave lens acts as a divergent lens. Reason (R) : A convergent lens is that which always forms a real image of a real object and a divergent lens is that which can never form a real image.
Answer» Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is correct explanation of the ASSERTION. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of the assertion. (A) is true but (R) is false. (A) is false but (R) is true. SOLUTION :Reason is false. A CONVERGENT lens is that which converges the incident light beam. However, a divergent lens diverges the incident beam of light.
