Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : T.D method of corn milling results in flour of better shelf-life.
Reason (R) : The major objective of T. D method of corn milling is to remove essentially all germ and hull.
In 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:

Remember that in grain processing, "germ removal" is always performed to eliminate lipids (fats/oils). This is the standard industrial approach to prevent rancidity and extend the shelf-life of cereal products.
