      Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A: The probe of a neutron moisture meter is inserted into an access tube fixed vertically in the soil Reason R: The probe of a neutron moisture meter contains a source of fast protons and a detector fo slow electrons and helps in estimating soil moisture content In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
      A Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      D A is not correct but R is correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The probe typically contains a source of neutrons (not fast protons) and a detector to measure the scattering or absorption of these neutrons by the soil. The measurement of neutron radiation helps in estimating the soil moisture content.
