Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Human most easily tolerates a lack of carbohydrate.
Reason (R): In human body carbohydrate provide energy of 9 Kcal/g

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explation of (A).
• C. (A) is true but (R) is false.
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true.

Hint:

Remember the standard Atwater energy values for macronutrients: 1. Carbohydrates = \(4\text{ Kcal/g}\) 2. Proteins = \(4\text{ Kcal/g}\) 3. Fats = \(9\text{ Kcal/g}\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
