Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): Some human organs like liver, kidney fail to function normally and transplantation is the only remedy to enable the patient to live a normal life. Reason (R): Tissue matching and blood group matching are essential before undertaking any transplant and patient has to take immunosuppresant thereafter.

In the 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

Step-by-Step Solution

book:

  • Assertion (A) is True: The text states that when organs like the heart, eye, liver, or kidney fail to function satisfactorily, transplantation is often the only remedy to enable the patient to live a normal life
  • Reason (R) is True: It is explicitly stated that tissue matching and blood group matching are essential before undertaking any graft/transplant, and the patient has to take immunosuppressants all their life to prevent graft rejection
  • Reasoning: While both statements are factually correct based on the text, the Reason (precautions/requirements for transplant) does not explain why transplantation is the only remedy for organ failure (which is due to the irreversible loss of function). Thus, R is not the correct explanation of A.
