Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as
Assertion Tartaric acid and fumaric acid exhibit geometrical isomerism. Reason They contain carbon-carbon double bond.A) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
B) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
C) If Assertion is true but Reason is false
D) If both Assertion and Reason are false
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Fumaric acid \[[HC(COOH)=CH(COOH)],\] but not the tartaric acid \[[{{(CH(OH)COOH)}_{2}}],\] exhibit geometric isomerism as only fumaric acid contains \[\text{C=C}\] bond.
