Question

Assertion (A): Dope test is used to estimate the level of blood alcohol by analysing the breath of persons drinking alcohol.

Reason (R): A drunken person usually feels tense and less talkative.

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:

A breath analyser can estimate alcohol from a person’s breath, but the supplied text does not identify this as a dope test for blood alcohol. The claim that a drunken person usually feels tense and less talkative is also not supported.
