Yes, I agree to @Hema
this is a false statement.
this is a false statement.

In reverse biased condition majority carriers (in p-type holes & in N-type electrons)move away from the junction due to the force of attraction.
It is a False statement.
It is a False statement.

In reverse bias condition, current produced is only due to movement of minority charge carriers, so this is a false statement.

Holes in p-material cannot move towards the junction when the pn junction is reverse biased. So it is a false statement but the explanation given is correct.

In reverse bias condition as both holes and electrons moves away from the junction only minority carriers moves towards the junction.
In this way electrons are the minority carriers in p type and holes in n type so these minority carriers will move towards the junction in reverse bias.
In this way electrons are the minority carriers in p type and holes in n type so these minority carriers will move towards the junction in reverse bias.

In question p material move towards the junction But explanation is different how is it possible?
