Question

Assertion (A): Cannabis sativa is a powerful anti-depressant.

Reason (R): Hashish and Marijuana are derived from it.

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 false.

Explanation:

Cannabis sativa is a hemp plant, not a powerful antidepressant. Hashish and marijuana are derived from it, so the reason as stated is actually true; therefore, the supplied answer key’s choice of both false conflicts with the provided textbook content.
