Assertion A: The consumption of water increases with increase in the distribution pressure. Reason R: Higher distribution pressure causes more loss and waste of water Select your answer according to the coding system given below A. Both A and R is true and R is the correct explanation of A B. Both A and R is true but R is not the correct explanation of A C. A is true but R is false D. A is false but R is true

The correct answer is: C. A is true but R is false.

Assertion A is true because higher distribution pressure will cause more water to be used. This is because higher pressure will make it easier for water to flow through pipes and fixtures, and people will be more likely to leave faucets running for longer periods of time.

Reason R is false because higher distribution pressure does not necessarily cause more loss and waste of water. In fact, higher pressure can actually help to reduce water loss by preventing leaks.

Here are some additional details about each option:

• Option A: Both A and R is true and R is the correct explanation of A. This option is incorrect because R is not the correct explanation of A. As explained above, higher distribution pressure does not necessarily cause more loss and waste of water.
• Option B: Both A and R is true but R is not the correct explanation of A. This option is correct because A is true and R is not the correct explanation of A.
• Option C: A is true but R is false. This option is correct because A is true and R is false.
• Option D: A is false but R is true. This option is incorrect because A is true.
