Q: Select the option that is appropriate regarding the following two statements labelled Assertion and Reason. Assertion: Due to the inherent nature of various parameters involved in the process, the yield from a catchment is a random variable. Reason: The yield from a catchment is the end-product of various processes such as precipitation, infiltration and evapotranspiration operating on the catchment.
  • A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • B. Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
  • C. Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  • D. Both Assertion and Reason are false.
Correct Answer: Option A - For determining the safe yield of a reservoir of given capacity one needs to draw tangents from the apex points such that the maximum difference between the tangent and the mass curve equals the given capacity of the reservoir. • Due to the inherent nature of various parameter involved in the process, the yield from a catchment is a random variable. The yield from a catchment is the end product of various processes such as precipitation, infiltration and evapotranspiration operating on the catchment.
