Question

Assertion (A): Harvard step test was developed by Dr. Roberta.

Reason (R): This test assesses the functional fitness of senior citizens.

In the context of above two statements, which one of the following is correct?

विकल्प

• Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

• Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

• (A) is true, but (R) is false.

• (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Answer 1

(A) is false, but (R) is true.

Explanation:

The Assertion is false because the Harvard Step test was developed by Brouha and his associates in 1943, not by Dr. Roberta. Dr. Roberta Rikli, along with Dr. Jessie Jones, developed the Senior Citizen Fitness Test, which assesses the functional fitness of older adults. Hence (A) is false and (R) is true.
