Question

Assertion (A): Both FSH and LH attain a peak level during middle of the menstrual cycle around 14th day. 

Reason (R): LH surge induces the formation of corpus luteum at ovulation.

Options

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

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

• Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

• Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are false.

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

FSH and LH peak around ovulation, and the LH surge triggers ovulation and supports corpus luteum formation. This does not explain why both hormones reach peak levels.
