1.	Assertion (A) : B(OH)_(3) is acidic while In(OH)_(3) is basic. Reason (R) : B(OH)_(3) has highly H-bonded net-work structure.
Answer» Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A A is true but R is false A is false but R is true Solution :REASON. `H_(3)BO_(3)` (or `B(OH)_(3)`) is an acid because B is a TYPICAL non-metal while `In(OH)_(3)` is a base because it is a typical metal.
