Multiple choice

Assertion: Laporte restriction is not applicable to tetrahedral complexes. Reason: The tetrahedral complexes of the same ions are more intensely coloured than the octahedral complexes.

1. A and R are both correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
2. A and R are both correct and R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. A is correct and R is incorrect.
4. A is incorrect and R is correct.
5. A and R are both incorrect.

  3. A is correct and R is incorrect.

  4. A is incorrect and R is correct.

  5. A and R are both incorrect.
