Reason: Plant captures 2 to 10 per cent of the PAR. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is correct explanation of the assertion Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not correct explanation of the assertion (A) is true but (R) is false Both (A) and (R) are false 6 / 10 Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below: Assertion: Amount of nutrient present in the soil at any given time, in a given ecosystem is referred as the standing state. Reason: Each trophic level has a certain mass of living material at particular time is known as the standing crop.
