Assertion (A): Charts are used to plot ships’ course and also for planning passage from one place to another.
Reason (R): Large scale charts cover large areas whereas small scale charts cover small areas.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is true but (R) is false.
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true.

Hint:

Assertion explains purpose, while the reason gives unrelated scale-specific details.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Charts are essential for navigation, plotting courses, and planning routes. Large-scale charts provide detailed views of smaller areas, while small-scale charts provide less detail over larger areas. However, this does not directly explain the planning function of charts.
