1.	Assertion(A): Lactic acid is optically active compound Reason (R): It contains a chiral centre with plane of symmetry
Answer» both A and R are true and R is CORRECT explanation of A both A and R are true and R is not correct explanation of A A is true but R is false A is false but R is true Solution :`CH_(3)-underset(OH)underset(\|)overset(H)overset(\|)C-COOH` it is optically ACTIVE due to the PRESENCE of chiral CENTER it has no plane of symmetry
