Assertion : In bright light camera with high f no. must be used.
Reason : As f no. increases the aperture size decreases.
Reason : As f no. increases the aperture size decreases.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option A (If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion) is correct because a higher f-number corresponds to a smaller aperture, which is necessary in bright light to avoid overexposure.
