Question

Given below are two statements: Assertion (A): "Kaanā Rasayanam" treats all types of "Kanam". Reason (R): Dosage is "Payaralawi" once daily for 9 days. Choose the most appropriate answer:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) explains (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) does not explain (A)
• C. (A) is false but (R) is false
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true

Hint:

Does the dosage explanation directly explain why Kaarai Rasayanam is used for all types of Kanam, or does it simply state how it should be taken? This will help you determine the relationship between the two statements.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Assertion (A) states that Kaarai Rasayanam is used to treat all types of 'Kanam'. From what is mentioned, it suggests that Kaarai Rasayanam has a broad application for all types of Kanam. This assertion seems plausible based on traditional healing or medicinal concepts in some cultures.

Reason (R) refers to the specific dosage of Kaarai Rasayanam, stating that the dosage is "Payaralavu," once a day for 9 days. This seems like a standard dosage for this treatment.

Now, consider the relationship between the assertion and the reason:

The reason (R) mentions a specific dosage. However, the dosage does not directly explain why Kaarai Rasayanam is used for all types of Kanam. The reason focuses on the treatment's frequency and dosage, not the rationale behind its use for treating all types of Kanam.

Thus, although both statements appear to be true independently, reason (R) does not fully explain why Kaarai Rasayanam is used for all types of Kanam.

The correct answer is (B): Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
