Question:
Assertion (A): Methanogens are present in the rumen of cattle.
Reason (R): They help in the breakdown of cellulose and nutrition of cattle.
Assertion (A): Methanogens are present in the rumen of cattle.
Reason (R): They help in the breakdown of cellulose and nutrition of cattle.
Reason (R): They help in the breakdown of cellulose and nutrition of cattle.
Show Hint
Methanogens are essential for the breakdown of cellulose in the rumen of cattle, aiding in the fermentation process.

- Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is correct but R is incorrect.
- A is incorrect but R is correct.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The assertion is correct because methanogens are indeed present in the rumen of cattle and help in breaking down cellulose. However, the reason provided (about nutrition of cattle) is not a correct explanation of the assertion, as methanogens help in the fermentation process but not directly in providing nutrition.
