    Question

    Consider the following statements. Assertion (A):

    Phosphorous availability is poor in acid soils. Reason (R): Phosphorous is leached from acidic soils.
    A (A) is true but (R) is wrong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B (R) is true but (A) is wrong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both (A) and (R) are true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both (A) and (R) are false Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Phosphorous availability is indeed poor in acid soils due to its conversion into forms that are not easily available to plants. However, phosphorus is not typically leached from soils; it tends to bind tightly to soil particles, which is different from leaching.
