Compared to dwarf stars, giant stars have a greater rate of nuclear reactions.
Compared to dwarf stars, giant stars have a greater rate of nuclear reactions. Consider
the following statements: Statement-I: Giant stars live much longer
than dwarf stars. Statement-II: Compared to dwarf stars,
giant stars have a greater rate of nuclear reactions. Which one of the following is correct in
respect of the above statements? (a). Both Statement-I and Statement-II
are correct and Statement-II explains Statement-I (b). Both Statement-I and Statement-II
are correct, but Statement-II does not explain Statement-I (c). Statement-I is correct, but
Statement-II is incorrect (d). Statement-I is incorrect, but
Statement-II is correct Explanation: Statement I is incorrect because giant
stars actually have shorter lifespans than dwarf stars due to their faster rate
of nuclear reactions. Statement II is correct as giant stars have a greater
rate of nuclear reactions compared to dwarf stars. Statement II is correct: giant stars have
a faster rate of nuclear reactions than dwarf stars. However, this means that
giant stars actually have shorter lifespans than dwarf stars b…
