Question

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Taking food before Hamam produces obesity and developed lean and thin persons and dryness on empty stomach Hamam.
Reason (R): Persons with dry temperament should intake less quantity of water during Hamam.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Unani bath guidance — food affects weight, dry temperaments avoid excess water.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

According to Unani principles, taking food before entering a Hamam (bath) can lead to increased production of body heat and fat, contributing to obesity.
This supports the statement that taking food before Hamam produces obesity and affects lean and thin persons differently.
Therefore, Assertion (A) is correct.
The Reason (R) that persons with dry temperament should intake less water during Hamam is also true based on Unani recommendations for balancing temperament.
However, this reason does not directly explain the assertion about food intake and its link to obesity.
Hence, both statements are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
