1.	These questions consist two statements each, printed as Assertion and reason, while answering these question you are required to choose any one of the following four responsis: (a) If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explanation of the assertion. (b) If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. (c ) If the assertion is true but reason is false. (d) If both the assertion and reason are false. Q. Assertion: Railway tracks are laid on small-sized wooden sleepers. Reason: Small sized wooden sleepers are used so that rails exert more pressure on the railway track. due to which rail does not leave the track.
Answer» Correct Answer - D Railways track are laid on large-sized wooden sleepers. Due to large sized sleepers the weight of rail act on the large area. Hence, the pressure exerted is reduced appreciably.
