Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: can be easily reduced using $\mathrm{Zn}-\mathrm{Hg} / \mathrm{HCl}$ to Reason $\mathrm{R}: \mathrm{Zn}-\mathrm{Hg} / \mathrm{HCl}$ is used to reduce carbonyl group to $-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-$ group. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Question

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A: can be easily reduced using $\mathrm{Zn}-\mathrm{Hg} / \mathrm{HCl}$ to

Reason $\mathrm{R}: \mathrm{Zn}-\mathrm{Hg} / \mathrm{HCl}$ is used to reduce carbonyl group to $-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-$ group.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

${ \text {Both } A \text { and }} \mathrm{R}$ are true and $\mathrm{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathrm{A}$

$\mathrm{A}$ is false but $\mathrm{R}$ is true

A is true but $\mathrm{R}$ is false

Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are true but $\mathrm{R}$ is not the correct explanation of $\mathrm{A}$
