Correct answer is (a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Q. Assertion (A): The intensity at a point of destructive interference is zero.
Reason (R): At destructive interference, the amplitudes of waves cancel each other.

Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$

Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$

$A$ is true, but $R$ is false

$A$ is false, but $R$ is true

Correct answer is (a) Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
