Question

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Triyaq Samania is named after.
Reason (R): Because it contains eight constituents.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate 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:

Remember, ‘Samania’ = eight; this helps decode the name’s meaning in Unani medicine.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Triyaq Samania is a Unani compound medicine that is named due to its composition of eight ingredients.
The word ‘Samania’ itself means ‘eight’ in Arabic, referring to the number of components present in this compound.
Therefore, the assertion that Triyaq Samania is named after is true.
Also, the reason that it contains eight constituents is true and directly explains why it is called Samania.
Hence, both statements are true and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
