Question

Assertion (A): Meal planning helps save time and money.

Reason (R): It involves preparing meals without considering nutritional content.

Options

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

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

• Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.

Answer 1

A is true but R is false.

Explanation:

Meal planning does save time and money by planning ahead (weekly menus, accurate shopping lists, bulk cooking, avoiding impulsive buys). Meal planning also explicitly emphasizes balanced, nutritious meals and meeting family members’ nutritional needs, so the claim that it ignores nutrition is incorrect.
