Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: For a simple microscope,the angular size of the object equals the angular size of the image.
Reason $R$: Magnification is achieved as the small object can be kept much closer to the eye than $25\, cm$ and hence it subtends a large angle.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.
  • C
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • D
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true.
