Question

Given below are two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R):
Assertion (A): Household kitchen should be well-lighted and ventilated.
Reason (R): Windows and doors should not have a wire mesh.
Select the most appropriate answers from the options given below :

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Assertion (A): Adequate lighting and ventilation are crucial for a comfortable and safe kitchen. They prevent the accumulation of heat and moisture, thus promoting hygiene. Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.
- Reason (R): Wire mesh on windows and doors permits ventilation while excluding insects and pests. The notion that kitchens should not have wire mesh opposes the requirements for proper ventilation and pest management. Consequently, Reason (R) is false.
