Assertion (A): C-Cl bond in CCl4 is polar whereas the molecule is non-polar.
Reason (R): The resultant dipole moment of four C-Cl bonds in CCl4 is zero.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

The shape of H2O molecule is bent while that of CO2 is linear. The correct explanation for this fact is that dipole moment of:

1. carbon dioxide is 3.84 D and that of water is zero.
2. water is zero and that of carbon dioxide is 1.84 D.
3. carbon dioxide is zero and that of water is 1.84 D.
4. carbon dioxide is 3.84 D and that of water is 1.84 D.
