18.Assertion. Line graph is a tool for comparison and is created by plotting a series of several points
and connecting them with a straight line.
Reason. You should never use a line chart when the chart is in a continuous data set.

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. A is false but R is true.
