Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Abnormal milk from infected udder can be detected by California Mastitis Test (CMT)
Reason (R) : Milk from infected udder contain more amount of catalase enzyme
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:

To verify Assertion-Reason questions, connect them with "because":
"CMT detects mastitis BECAUSE mastitic milk has more catalase." This statement is incorrect because CMT works via DNA gelation, not through catalase activity. Thus, both are true but the reason is not the correct explanation.
