Question

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : "Ganthi Melugu" is one of the Araippu Melugu.
Reason (R) : Ganthi Melugu is used for Siruneraaga noigal.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is true but (R) is false
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true

Hint:

When reading statements about traditional remedies, make sure the reason clearly justifies the assertion, and not just coincidentally aligns with it.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

While the assertion is true that Ganthi Melugu is part of Araippu Melugu, the reason provided does not exactly explain its use for Siruneraaga noigal (lesser known diseases). Therefore, while both statements are true, the reason is not directly explaining the assertion.
